When you are interested in JavaScript/Node/CoffeeScript, I recommend you 
join the JavaScript team and try spur some interest there.

  http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-javascript-devel

Beware, though, that that mailinglist has been semi-dead for awhile and 
only recently got some new fuel when Jérémy Lal proposed using that as a 
platform for team-maintaining Node.  So you might want to go on a 
recruiting crusade as well, gathering some fresh people there :-)

As for your concrete question on creating more Freedombox mailinglists: 
I personally find it wrong to extend Freedombox to be the platform for 
_writing_ code - there is plenty of challenge already in shrinkwrapping 
readily available and already Debian-packaged code, and I fear we loose 
sight if take our mouth too full.  But that is just my personal opinion.  
If you feel you need permission from someone to create an additional 
mailinglist, ask someone else more willing than me - else just take lead 
and create it yourself!


>Who's interested in discussing/doing development?

Just a clarifying question (most likely I am myself not interested 
whatever the answer - I recommend joining existing teams rather than 
spawn a new one):

What development are you talking about? CoffeeScript only, anything 
FreedomBox (whatever that means), anything Debian, or anything Free?
