Thanks for getting this started, Rich!

In response to a few things regarding the func spec:

-Johns asked, "So - is anyone here up for dealing these sorts of 
organizational issues?"  Once again, if I knew more about managing 
software development, I'd be glad to.  Considering my limited experience, 
is there any way I can help with this process?

-Johns wrote, "I would like to hear from Stephanie on this, and, I would 
guess that at some point this will bite us in the backside when some 
promising and otherwise supportive funder(s) see that we really haven't 
done our most basic groundwork/homework and can't even provide documents 
clearly indicating what the heck we're actually planning to do, or when, 
or how.  If this were a business venture, we wouldn't have a snowball's 
chance in hell of getting any investors with no specs, no organizational 
structure, no nothing formal to present.  Why would grantors accept 
less?"  I completely agree.  Which is why I've been antsy to get this 
done.

So, can everyone please edit/contribute to what Rich has started on the 
wiki?  And then what?  Should I/someone put it into some other format 
(i.e. CVS)?  

Thanks for all the hard work everyone,
*Stephanie
