Joseph,
I agree with you in principle but it's the .com that seems to be against
the grain of OSS. It might work against the
idea. I know it's trivial but that's how I feel. A .org or .net would be
better (if we can have it).
Two, aside from a central index, we may also need a standard format for
presentation of the specifics of a project so a potential user can, in a
glance, determine the basic machinery of the project. An example of this
would be (please feel free to add/delete/modify):
Title: Project_title
Hardware: PC, Mac
OS: Linux
Client: any OS running Netscape 3.x or higher, IE 3.x or higher, RealAudio
plug-in
Server: Apache, PHP, MySQL, PostgreSQL
Info Model: GEHR
Dbase: Relational
Environment: Three MD primary practice
Covers: Registration, Medication, Diagnosis, Procedures, etc
If this info can be on the index site, so much the better.
