Frank,

Looks like it just needs some fleshing out in the details, you didn't leave much out. :c)

One question, should the templates be focused or somewhat generalized so a single template can work for all, or maybe some general questions with a business/technology focused group of questions added on, there may also be need to have a set of question related to the specific project itself, possibly originating with the author, I like the second method, because it allows some flexibility in how the interview can proceed, the general questions can be sort of the base stuff that everyone should answer, that sort of thing.

All,
This is the exact type of thing I was thinking about for project promotions that OSGEO could be instrumental in. I also had a thought related to this, this afternoon, related to this, I was thinking about a project classification of "OSGEO Registered" for use by any project that applies in any way shape or form, then there is a list of project to keep track of, then you could put as many intermediate steps or tiers in place over time to progress projects against. I would be interested in (trying) to help with something like this, but I wouldn't want to examine the same types of projects that I'm trying to promote, I would need to do other different types of projects. You might start things out by setting up a few questionnaires that interviewers could start from for the different types of projects as templates, and then let the interviewers go from there, should keep things similar in nature between projects but also allow for the interviewers to dig deeper if needed.

Bob,

I've written up a few of my thoughts on a revitalized Spotlights effort
at:

While clearly you can't interview yourself I don't see any big issues with conflicts of interest on related projects as long as you can keep enough distance to ensure the result is reasonably understandable to the general
OSGeo audience.

Best regards,
