[Imc-alternatives] Website Barn-raising day?

[David Zwarg]

Hey Rob-

This is a great idea.  One of the things you mention is figuring out  
all the spots where we are stuck, as well as you.  Putting our  
resources together will definitely be a good thing -- the more we can  
throw at this, the better we will both be, and the quicker we can  
focus on making the site sing...instead of cursing that it won't turn  
over.

Let's try to find some time to coordinate something like a code  
sprint.  I think it could be fun!
