I don't agree - I'd rather profit from the initial impetus we have, rather 
than let people fall asleep. The idea of having mailing list + Wiki is that 
anyone can join at any time and find the current state of concensus on the 
Wiki, so there should be no need to catch up with a backlog of e-mails. And 
there won't be that much in a week anyway.

I agree.

Looks fine, except that I'd put all lists (names, program names) in 
alphabetical order to avoid any impression of order of merit.

Right, good idea.
