Hi Lenz,

First, let me appologize for not introducing you sooner to our small
group- I wasn't sure when you subscribed to the list.

Basically we're at ground zero + 1 meter.  We've got a concept for a site,
and we've got a a good place to host it free of charge for listing them as
a supporter.

Right now we're in the planning phase of:

1) Getting 1-3 more people to help with the inital launch of the site
2) What information to include and how to present it
3) Deciding on the various technologies we need to impliment (PHP, SQL,
etc)
4) How much local content vs. linked-to content and deciding what we
mirror.

If you haven't seen http://linuxkb.seul.org/ yet, be sure to check it out.
It's far from a complete description, but it should give you the broad
overview.

The initial concept what to take the Red Hat Linux User's FAQ's content
and integrate it with a new site that is non-distribution centric.  I'm
hoping to have specfic content for Red Hat, SUSE, and Debian, as well as
more generic content that covers all distributions.

Hope that helps!
