Hi David - We have had discussions among a few people, and Satoshi has
shared a bit of his code. I am very excited about this project and see
it as having great potential - I am looking forward to seeing more.

I discovered that Satoshi has created a Sourceforge project at:

http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin.

I wonder if we might consider using the forums there for discussion:

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=2526146&forum_id=885783

You need an account there, but they are free. Sourceforge also allows
creation of mailing lists which I don't think require an account to
subscribe to, so perhaps Satoshi would consider enabling that feature
if he has a chance.
