I have missed all of this conversation, so forgive me if this has been discussed already.
May I suggest you not take this group private? Do it right here on A-Org, there are already forums for develpment. If it really is going to be a big movement I'm sure you can convince the webmasters of AO to create a new forum. Something like this could be VERY useful to get people onboard, and where else better to have it than here where it can get maximum exposure? Heck if I ever get free time I'D like to learn some programming:-) Freetime is a big IF though :-/
