In most situations I would agree wholeheartedly. In this situation,
however, I'm hoping that a centralized resource will serve to bring more
developers into the fold (and therefore increase the overall amount of
time available for coding).
On a personal level this type of project works well for me anyway. I
don't have nearly as much time as I'd like to work on Abi anymore (due to
work and family), but I do manage to keep up with the mailing list and
compile a fresh build every couple days. That puts me in the unique and
often frustrating position of having a good idea of what's going on and
not being able to do anything about it. :)

Great. The web page has already been updated, so it's yours now. :)
