My reasoning behind this is to get developers working together to come up with future web components for use on the web.

Rather than have lots of different competing components, lets get a proper discussion going without the need for working groups - we'll just build the damn things, and release them in the wild.

I've put up three ideas already - Calendar, Image Gallery and Lightbox - but if you have other idea, just raise an issue on the main website issues (https://github.com/WebComponents/webcomponents.github.com/is...) and I'll create it and make sure you join the organisation!
