Hey Lenny, what is up with SciBrick?? I've been getting this question off and on since the (URL) 'We Want You' Affair>, and my answer has been mostly "SciBrick is re-organizing itself, developments to be mentioned later."

Is there an official "membership" for SciBrick? I'm asking because there still isn't much on the website and the only thing I see here is a "heated debate".
