In case this didn't get through.

Dear Andrew, Gordo, Gary, and all
Firstly, sorry for the confusion. It's Simon. Have to use the sandyd account to stop the overflow of emails that always come from first attempts on a new email list(s).
I appreciate your hyperventilation - another stupid idea. The last one was when I suggested (a long time ago) to a few computer companies that, due to Moore's Law, they should rent their computers rather than sell them (and when the laughter had died, set up a funding mechanism between computer companies and banks). Now I'm told what a stupid idea it is to buy. I'm suggesting the same kind of change in context here = Comms not Info.
Have replied at OCLC's forum to help my failing memory keep a thread, http://forums.oclc.org/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=11732&pageNo=1&num=2...
I hope you will take a squiz. Especially at the virtual rooms stuff. I can see you like the idea of broadcasting from Wikimania, wherever it might be held, and while the comproj teams are reforming it seems a good time to get a new comms model in place. It's quite possible to do a global thing but we gotta use the appropriate tools.
All the best, simonfj
I have to say, as a classifier I started hyperventilating with laughter at this point. Of all the things that are completely inappropriate to use for anything like our projects, DDC must be high on the list...
(DDC is essentially a system for arranging physical books in a linear order. In an electronic environment, it's... well, about as meaningful as "alphabetising things" for any form of structured information. Not to mention the fact that it's immensely legally encumbered!)
