A suggestion for a list where people building businesses around 
Wikipedia could discuss
business related issues with a similiar mindset. That's all. Issues 
like: How do we keep MediaWiki
synced up to always work with dumps. How can we help the foundation 
create revenue
generating opportunities. Schedules for conferences for business people 
who are using
Wikipedia content in business and for funded education programs. How do 
we rally funding
for project X proposed by Community member 'X'. That sort of thing.
