well, it's not real formal.  so far i'm sole curator, though i'm
trying to learn The Zen Of Delegation.  i guess it comes down
to a), do i think its cool and somehow inspiring ...  and b) do
i think you can pull it off, if it's something that doesn't exist
yet and that i'm going to be promising to people later.  if you
have pictures that's great, or if you want to meet up with me
and show me things, that's great, or if you want to just describe
it to me somehow, that's also great.

btw, i have recently had this ongoing conflict of band practice
on the same night as dorkbot meetings, which is why i'm almost
never there.   but i could be there to look at stuff, as needed.
