But one of the important things is that action is not JUST writing code.
There are those of use who are unable to write good code (or, I suppose,
any code at all) or do not comprehend the math of cryptography. They are
just as needed in the battle as those who compile.
Cypherpunks (the list) I believe has sorta become a combination of
talk.politics.crypto and sci.crypt, and provides a uniqie opportunity to
integrate both the coding adn the political sides into one cohesive
fighting force. The small number of (active) participants allows this to
be done in a very intimate and (relatively) fast fashion.
This is a GOOD thing.

That assumes that people can get it...
