Thanks Yo_Duh!
Since I started/announced the idea, I've already had to make some adjustments: I thought we could form some kind of testing consortium, but it became clear quickly that not all would agree to it, and that some weren't interested in that aspect anyways.
So the WTA is strictly going to be about setting a standard.
As Bill suggested, the discussions are public, and I agree with that 100%. I was hoping to filter out some unecessary conversations, by limiting who can post only to those who have been invited to post, but that turned out to be too messy, so I'll just have to deal with it. No big deal.
I thought I'd lead this effort, but Bill's right (again!), in that I'm not qualified to do that. So I've appointed myself as secretary, keeping the communication going, and there may be a time when we all come to vote on electing a chairperson, if that's what we decide to do.
A lot of these things are out of my hands already, but I still have to get it going. I'm working on a "vision statement", which members will receive shortly.
And I'm still recruiting!
So if anyone out there feels that they're qualified, and wants to become a member, and receive a chance to vote on what is going to be a waterblock testing standard, then PM or e-mail me your e-mail address. There's no money involved, it's all voluntary.
Otherwise, I also welcome anyone who has an interest in building a test bench, or otherwise would like to have a say about it.
