A very interesting invitation, though quite a commitment.

This looks similar to what I proposed earlier for reorganization of EWG:

The Engineering Working Group will do little programming, but a lot of
planning and community relations. Its tasks are outlined on the current EWG
wiki page: assistance with developer events, helping new developers with
current tasks and directing them to people who know stuff (e.g. to core
software developers). And financial assistance: grants for hosting
hackathons, and potentially grants for developing software. The scope of
this group is finding new developers and promoting the OSM development. It
partially includes development strategy, since this group should know where
the project is heading and which tools are needed.

Working on the EWG would be hard, but I hope rewarding. If you want to
help, discussing the development strategy and forming proposals weekly,
drop me a note. We'll have the first EWG meeting late October if we have
enough members.
