i strongly support you in this. as an editor, i've been looking for such a
space to refer the many writers i work with, but have yet to find it. i
hope such a space would carry stuff like calls/contests/announcements for
publishing opportunities.

i hope such a space will also be a *safe* space for south asian writers, 
including the "established" writers, to be able to say something, to share
something, without being torn to shreds. i find the atmosphere in sasialit
to be so cannibalistic that the bharati mukherjees and chitra divakarunis
of our community would have to be masochists to want to hang around in it. 
it would be nice to have a supportive and encouraging space for *all*.
