I'll try to reply to everyone when I get some more time. Meanwhile I updated the OP with some guidelines and hoping to get some feedback before we officially start working.
While you're are at it, try to figure out how to keep track of all this so that we wouldn't have to go through 10 pages of this thread to find out if we're not overlapping with someone. For example I decide to work on a couple of ANN threads, I make a post here, then 200 esteemed spam hunters post other stuff, and now nobody knows who's working on what. Same with the 500-user lists that LoyceV posts. Ideally we would want some sort of constantly-updated alphabetical list, e.g. in the second post of your thread, but that sounds like a full time job.
