How about making them available to members only? That way we keep the
process open within AFFS, and have yet another incentive for people to
become members.

I think it would be a good idea if members got to indicate their opinion
of each bid, too. This should be in association with a review board, since
we couldn't guarantee continuity in the member review process.

It would also be a good idea to draw up criteria for a FLOSS project, for
example:

- is the project original?
- does it fulfill a genuine need?
- does it represent good value for money?
- does it have support from the community?
- etc
