    Cool.

    I'd recommend you run a short for NewsForge or LWN on the outcome of
    this. Post the interchange on your website (or if you don't have one:
    http://twiki.iwethey.org/ would be more than happy to provide space and
    bandwidth) and link it with a brief one paragraph writeup.

    Peace.
