Nice :)

Personally, I'd like to know more about the project. E.g. how many
people are involved or what license they have picked for their fonts.

If our goals are common, I think there is a way we could join efforts
and make a significant impact together. For example, OFL could be a
pure SVN/fonts hosting and library part of the union, while TypeForge
could be the place where all development happens.

I'm looking forward to hearing from Pedro and other people involved in
the project. We need some common place to talk. SInce Open Font
License initiators are already in this list [1], I suggest staying
here for further discussion.

What do other people think?
