Let's remember that we are at this point an assemblage of disparate but interested professionals. We don't have to get _everything_ right the first time, but we do need to build a community of the interested. Notice a regular theme in this list being to build community first, tinker in the sandbox second, and build something third, (goto step 2 until finished, and reinforce step 1 where necessary). We're gonna get things WRONG from time to time, but if we're a community, we'll get errors corrected and build it RIGHT. In all our enthusiasm, in all our doubts, let's be patient while we are jumping in to our next failure, because eventually WE WILL SUCCEED if we keep at it....
