I so hate those cross-posting message, choose if it's marketing or ambassadors :-) Those kind of initiative has already been launched for example by fsfe.org for the non-free pdf reader. They just have everything in place already for example http://fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders/pdfreaders.en.html and some other http://fsfe.org/projects/os/os.en.html I know that in France, there's several associations working on this subject like Aful and April. I'm pretty sure in other countries they already do that too. I would push in the same as Andreas, and try to keep focus on our project and distribution. I will certainly applause a website + form + database that refer the well-player, it's positive way of doing the same. But the site has to been done!
