Thanks Foomandoonian, much appreciated - will give it some more thought…

I gather you would then interview the people you visited for a film or series of films.

The site needs polishing, and I don't know how you would go about promoting it, but I'd give it some more thought.

As for Open4, it's in no way BAD idea, but I think you are up against TONS of competition in that arena.

The gnuworldorder.info domain runs out next month - let's see if I can work out a way to keep it going (or think of a better domain). I haven't added anything on it for ages - again, it's trying to get something which other people will want to join in with.

Ultimately I'd love to report back from free software in action from around the world - in schools, businesses, govt, etc. - the idea was that I would visit the ones members voted up the most.
