http://lists.csua.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gzg-lI think it sounds
like a great idea, with one caveat.

IMNSHO you need to set a time for the playtest list to test and then
publish.
I keep hearing great things from the playtest list but have seen nothing
new
in ages.
I'll take not quite points balanced and a little imperfect if it means I
actually see
new games.  If you are going to wait for perfect you might as well not
start.
A great product from GZG is good enough for me.

That said I would really like to see BDS.  We have been house ruling
K'rvak
for far
far too long.
