I think we should not use a kewyord on the Zope collector. Tres and I
already have inventorized and talked about Zope.org trackers. There already
is a new.zope.org Tracker at:

  http://dev.zope.org/Projects/nzot

and there is a tracker for the current Zope.org tracker at:

  http://www.zope.org/Tracker

Both these trackers will go away after new.zope.org is done and moved to
www.zope.org. I want them to be replaced with a new Collector at
collector.zope.org, one especially for the ZOpe.org website.

For now, I think that the new.zope.org tracker is more than sufficient for
the task at hand. I can always add supporters to that one.

Agreed. This is exactly what this mailinglist was set up for. As for IRC, we
can set up a new channel, if #zope is too busy at the time of a meeting. We
don't want to impose on innocent bystanders, of course. :)

Indeed, we'll have to move the current CVS code out to somewhere more
accessible.

Aaargh! Don't let Tres hear that.. Oh, and don't let Andrew hear that
either, because he would agree all too readily to scrap the code. :)
