Hi,
good people agree on discussing here and not at several places.

My main points from the forum discussions are:
1: Decide on a manager. 2: Manager goes on to discuss porting with sander.vesik@ireland.sun.com (correct way to start, according to porting.openoffice.org) 3: We decide how to host various things like mail, http, versioning control system, and who is responsible for what. 4: Those of us responsible for something (from step 3) starts putting together the resources needed. 5: The rest of us start looking at what needs to be done to the codebase.
Starting off in any other direction just doesn't work for me.
I like the list, maybe others like to add points to it. Point 1. and 2. are the next logical steps, whether we choose a manager or a comittee or whatever is not important to me but like Tony Wyatt wrote there has to be something in charge to get the beast ported.
I would recommend everybody having a look at http://porting.openoffice.org/ if you haven't yet.
We are not the first ones and we can only learn from the predecessors. Also the site offers some resources we can make use of if we choose to do so (website etc.).
