It seems to me that the way things usually make progress is if

Any such group needs a scribe to write the first draft, and Axel seems to have started doing that already, hence my suggested 'scribe' attribution.
I've been busy lately but I'll update the document with a new mission statement which we can agree upon. I would like to ask Daan to propose the outline of the core, i.e. set/get functions and how type classes fit in. Sorry for the delay, Axel.
