No problem -- it's email :-) I originally misunderstood what Martijn  
said, and it wasn't until I reread it in the context of your quote  
that I understood.

Before I reinvent the wheel of creating new mailing lists, I will  
spend some time scouring weblogs and web framework project pages for  
projects which are incorporating AJAX features (rails, etc). If I  
find another community which is suitable, I'll suggest interested  
people join that instead.

In case I don't find something which looks suitable, how many people  
on this list would be interested? Any suggestions for what it should  
be called, and what it should cover? I am generally interested in  
sparking discussion of modern JavaScript techniques in general, not  
just AJAX out of band client to server communication.

I wouldn't want to touch SF with a ten-foot pole, sorry. :-(
