None of the libraries where the LWG had already expressed interest in 
seeing a formal proposal, but the proposal wasn't ready yet, were 
discussed.

Jens spent the week before the meeting at Fermilab, talking to random 
number interests, so he has some ideas he wants to incorporate.  But his 
formal proposal is mostly done, so you might contact him if you are 
interested.
