I don't know, Sylvain. I appreciate the effort, but that's exactly how fragmenting a community down to small enough bits that each will eventually die starts in my experience.
If enough people express the desire that this place should be unadulterated Softimage itself, without discussion on migration and alternatives, sure, then maybe parallel subset groups would be good, but until then I'd rather not see the core participants breaking their contributions apart in different places.
