This sounds like a good idea, it will definately help record keeping, 
organization, and sharing of lessons learnt. May I suggest adding newspapers, 
magazines, radio, and TV channels. 

That way we should find one or more readers/listeneners of each to take 
responsibiity for monitoring each. When an article needs reply from us we can 
all write as private citizens. The effect is a large public response on free 
software issues.
