Thanks.  I had sent an email to a project lead with no response yet
(forgot name), and joined mailing list but have seen no activity and no
response to an email there.  I will follow up.

Well, if you get the time, please examine the current materials
(especially whitepaper and draft presentation) and see if you note any
gaps that you can fill or flesh out.

Some background: most of my related work has been in the proprietary
world (VB programming, PDM work, SQL Server and Oracle databases, etc)
and I've only recently begun moving into the open source world.  So where
this project really needs help is in identifying details that support the
high-level concepts proposed.

Details will not be so important for Akademy but they are crucial to the
project.  Process diagramming, identifying useful libraries and services
and related work are needed.

Great!  I am going to do my best to make it.  Just not easy on my poor
budget...
