well manifesto speak has two genres primarily, either you go general or 
you go techno or specific.  I think the world is ripe for a broadly 
shared manifesto for applications of oss in environments.  I think Mark 
is right, this needs to be general, but if you talk significantly of 
the possible , i think you can take this alot farther.  I mean Syllabus 
magazine is ripe for something like this.
