Sorry, I think we can only help you after step 3 has been completed. We only
approve software or documentation projects in Savannah. Your idea sounds very
interesting and useful, but if I understood you correctly, you would like to
use the project for advocacy and discussion related to your idea, which is out
of the scope of Savannah. We'll be glad to host your project after it gets
started; if you think I misunderstood your proposal, please re-submitted with
a more complete description.

For the Savannah hackers team,
