Yup, fully agree, one month is not long enough. Whoever[0] is
organizing this could have done better / gotten it organized earlier
--- however, I'm really glad that someone has actually bothered
organizing such a thing. If it turns out to be useful, perhaps it will
be announced earlier in the future. We kvetch about lack of running
code, missing implementations, etc - let's not also kvetch too much
when someone tries to organize something to improve the situation.

This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
of pants.
