It's an interesting offer. Having it associated with a well recognised
Amateur Radio body would facilitate it being found by amateurs, and it
might also encourage some more hams to follow the Linux path through
association and exposure.

What I'm imagining by way of a web site would require a relational
database at the back end though, something like MySql, etc. and
preferably something like PHP3 supported by the server.

Linux Australia will host the database if that is a problem, finding a
host isn't really a problem.
