It's complicated because it's something that impact "Reputation" of product vendors, so it does require: - an objective methodology to be impartial enough - a forensic proof collection of snake-oil evidence (because the indexed product can change their website/claim/brochure) - a legal team to resist against pressure by product manufacturer - a structured database to clearly collect/show/collect the snake-oil sign. Yet i love the idea as it embedd a certain degree of trolling ;-) -- Fabio Pietrosanti (naif) HERMES - Center for Transparency and Digital Human Rights http://logioshermes.org - http://globaleaks.org - http://tor2web.org
