If by "looking into it" you are volunteering to be the host(s), that sounds like something you can volunteer to do right here or in the primary 2010 5th Gear thread 2010 5th Gear on CD.
However, because we haven't wrapped the right sort of automation around the process of signing up 6 and only 6 players (who aren't in the same room with each other or with whoever is running the server), that part of being a host would have to be performed more or less manually. It is easy to do when all 7 computers are on a couple of adjacent table tops; but not so much when everyone is in different states or countries.
I don't want to discourage you from trying it, but I suspect that with this version, you would want to do it in a few short spurts with a small group of players who are connected through IM or something similar  ; not volunteer to do it 24/7 for the whole world.
