Stefano wanted to know whether someone was starting something he was 
interested in because he might want to contribute, if I understood him 
correctly.

But I don't think it is really common practice (or even good form?, but 
that's very debatable) to announce something if you are not ready to 
release some code, many things can happen in-between (loss of interest, 
unexpected -heh- lack of time, realization that there may be better 
options...) and a premature announcement never fulfilled might end up 
being worse than no announcement at all, since people might refrain to 
take on a similar project to avoid duplicating efforts. A release, in 
whichever stage, at least shows some commitment behind the project.

For released software there's already LAA (+planet mirror), as Robin says.

For unreleased one, I meant with my previous message that perhaps it 
might be better to give a shout here: "hey, I miss such and such and I 
am considering putting some hours into making it happen. A search for 
similar projects didn't yield any results, has anyone something going 
already along this line?"

But I dunno, it was just a minimum-effort proposal, lazy bugger that I 
am. I see how you might perhaps, maybe, want to jump in something even 
if you never thought of starting it, if you find its declaration of 
intentions sufficiently inspiring.
