Peter,
This sounds like something that Daemon News might be able to help
with. Are you interested in spending some time on it? Our staff
is stretched very thin right now and can't really take on any more
projects without additional volunteers. If you or another interested
party has the time, though, I think that the attempt should be made
and that Daemon News is the right umbrella for it.
