Thanks KNepali,
I will have a Discussion platform ready by tonight. Any of you guys have suggestions on which forum software to use , that would be great. I am thinking of using Simple Machines Forum and MailMan (GNU) for mailing list management. This will serve as the starting point and then we can work together and make plans on proceeding further. Once the mail man is ready I will give you guys the link to sign up for the mailing list.

If you have any questions or suggestions on how to proceed further in the mean time, please let me know, but i think mailing list is the first place to start.
Thanks
