I think this qualifies as a big idea! AFAIK, it's been kicked around a bit but never seriously considered within this project. Would you propose a WG based on this? Perhaps you want to lead that discussion. If people join it, I'm all for hearing what that Group has to say. I can't promise the Foundation as infrastructure for such things, but I will take mature proposals for consideration at the Board level. Thanks much! _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
