I think a new list is good idea. It can be even more awesome if all of us can pull our resources together and ask and share about any DCC we are using. Be it maya, houdini, max, modo, blender etc.
Let's make a new list and keep doing the same thing that we have been doing over the years - Ask, Share and just be awesome ! For me personally, as a developer / td, I am ready to write tools for anything. I am still happy to answer any core math questions as it forms the basis of most of our work in any package. Let's do this in parallel to the list.
