By all means begin right away! no offense, as this is usually the "do it yourself" open source way i subscribe to... however, i believe the original point was to have someone _knowledable_ write the reports. hence the typical allusion to core. i don't think it has to be core, but it should be someone with a good architectural understanding of BSD and Free in particular... that way they can filter the core data and sources like cvs-all into something meaningful to the masses. i mean... i could just pull all the data together and turn it into a "report". but i seriously doubt it'd be more useful than just browsing cvs-all online... so the right person has to do the reporting for it to actually be of value IMCO.
