Barrett Brown asked me to send you some general information about Project PM.  Here are some documents stored in Google's cloud, including some excerpts from and links to Barrett's writings in which he describes the need for an entity such as Project PM. The general information document also includes instructions for accessing Project PM's IRC channel, #ProjectPM, which is usually most active on Wednesday evenings, around 7 PM New York time.  Another document is a list of links to YouTube videos by Barrett relating to Project PM and other subjects.  To access these documents you may need to obtain a Google account (get a Gmail address), which is free.
