I think that this would be great, but let's set the time frame to be the
first week of April. The mid-march time frame doesn't work well, because
I'll be somewhat limited in what I can say since it will be prior to the
source code release. I'd also imagine that once the source code goes
out, that is going to cause alot of additional questions.  

Let's tentatively set a deadline for you to have all the questions
collected by April 3rd, and I'll answer them and get the back to you
sometime that next week.  I'll probably end up doing them on the plane
over.  This way I'll have a lot more freedom to tell people about what
is going on.  You and I can talk offline to figure out the
administrative details.
