I think one concern is folks coming in who 'toe the line' using
popular packages: "Zope sucks.  We shouldn't use it.  MySQL and PHP
all the way!"  And then don't contribute.  Then the 3 or 4 folks who
wanted to use Zope (or whatever) and are actually doing the work are
now either stuck using tools they don't like, or we go back to square
one, or they just fade away and the website stays in its current
state.

Luckily WPLUG doesn't tend to demonstrate this kind of rabidity
(witnessed by the number of ibooks that show up at GUMs :-), so I'm
not particularly worried of a filibuster.
