David,

This is very good. 

I just want to give you an idea that you may have to divide the pie. 
That is, we should be prepared to direct the discussion in a direction 
where we discuss separately each component of the project, should there 
be resistance to moving the entire project. (And only in that event, 
discuss portions separately.) For example, those maintaining the wiki 
*might* not be as enthused about moving as those using version control 
and mailing lists. (In such a case, this would mean having to cut the 
pie, and delve into each piece separately, and the consequences if any 
of having a pie that is cut. Pie is perhaps not the strongest metaphor, 
as we are dealing with pieces which have varied roles.)
