  Sure, a good idea. 

  There are two wiki to be aware of:
    http://macnash.telfer.uottawa.ca/rfi-EE01518733/doku.php
  and:
    one on openconcept.ca... oops. I can't find that one.

  Also be aware that the RFI does not say open source.
  It says, "No cost Licensed Software", so it would include, for
instance IE7.
