I think it is a great idea, although I have reservations about the "for pay"
idea.  I've coordinated projects before involving independent software
contractors, and it seems to me that it is hard enough in one city, person-to-
person, to ensure that everyone feels that fairness is being maintained.

Why isn't it net.projects.software, net.projects.hardware, etc?  Seems to me
to make a LOT more sense.
