Electronic resources committee?

I was wondering if there was a need (or interest) in putting together an "electronic resources committee". One thing they could address is the resources that are available on the web for us, reviewing them periodically for areas that need updating or improvement. I think there are some links on FM home page, some links on the "Useful links - Click here" page, and there is also a page full of old FM grand rounds topics and resources.

There's a few network folders with resources, digital recordings of lectures, podcasts, etc...

There's also some issues with shorthand dictionaries. I'm doing a study that involves shorthand, but it doesn't fully address FM shorthand issues -- and it doesn't take into account any concerns that other people might have about shorthand.

On top of that, you have me putting stuff out there on a blog. So that brings up the issue of what belongs on email and what should be distributed in other ways.

A committee could meet every few months and could start to get a handle on these issues. I don't know if any such committee already exists, if not I'd like to explore it. Any other residents interested in this?
