Feel free to comment, criticise and otherwise barrage with feedback. This is a BIG project. Can I run past you what I intend to do and/or have started to do?

OK, I will anyway:

As you can see, I have a general introduction (copied from the Topic of the Week main page), followed by definitions of various terminology (I thought it best to get this in quickly), which was written by IMSOP. I wonder whether there is other background information that may need including at this point.

I then go on to explain people's opinions on the advantages and disadvantages of it.

Then I'll say about all the people who benefit, and some case studies that have been mentioned (eg Munich).

I'll also mention/link to details of how to go about starting out in the Open Source world after this.

I will put details of licenses in a separate entry, as you intended to do. Likewise with the 'best-of-breed Open Source applications'.

But there is one big question: where should the history of open source fit in? I suppose it should go in yet another separate entry.

Anything I've missed? Though I'm sure Peer Review will be only too happy to flood the forum with answers to this.

Thanks.
