Basement tinkerers and inventors

Odd notes I made about BT/I's:

- am just exploring any value/interest to a group/groups for BT/I's
(basement tinkerers and inventors) or is there a place already for
these people; are there many of us, what are we doing?

- BT/I by implication means PC software development; IBM Main, COBOL,
etc seem mostly geared to the high end

- is a BT/I scope too wide e.g. projects in java, cobol, web, VB,
mainframe, non-mainframe, drivers ... ad infinitum?

- what would be a reasonable sub titles?

- my personal interests would be groups ltitled 'BT/I Websphere
Developer for z/OS' and 'BT/I Cobol, CICS, VSAM, DB2'

- five years ago I wrote letters to IBM, Microfocus, Microsoft and
McKinney about something I was developing; there are at least three
black holes on this planet

- via such groups I would be interested in listening to people with
similiar interests, financial constraints, tiny company size,
technical problems, etc.

- is all this naive, impractical, not needed?

Thanks
