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.
