This may be true. The key point is to get site running in next 1-2 weeks,
in state similar to expected final state (layout, scheme, colours, functionality...)
Then we will need photos. Lots of.
Also correspondence with Leica may help a /little/.
Then to get ball rolling, we will need to have website fully ready till end of
November to show it heads up by Christmas.
Also someone should go to all wep catalogs, photo links pages and announce
announce announce announce announce announce announce and announce.
Ohh and put some drummers at beginning :-)
The key point here is to make as much traffic, as it is possible, so don't
hang these hands over keyboard, trying to answer. Just go to friends and

Arrange holidays in Australia. Hire people to make paper hats with FOM2
logo in version designed by me (Alastair haven't seen it yet...) (Available
upon request)
