tks for the thoughtful response Dave

good, then i don't feel bad about using the SL logo :)

What should the next step for Karma be on the SIG/Project route?

I think it will take 6+ months for a governance strategy for Karma to be
worked out. Essentially right now we are just trying to reimplement the
work done in Flash to html5+javascript. Later when different individuals
have differing ideas, we may need some governance. Right now, the main
focus is "How do we convert the talking water buffalo from flash to
html5?"
