I'd be more than glad to help. And fighting FUD has one important side
effect - it helps collecting proofs that Linux is better in many cases than
the, so called, "official" software - y2k, application base, to name just
two of them. Such effort would collect a huge base of proofs to present to
CEOs who demand them to make a decision whether to switch to Linux or not. A
well organized, searchable database of such proofs would be a really
precious resource. I myself am a programmer and an admin, but I know people
in marketing departments who would gladly "sell" Linux - only they have no
handy proofs and resources to fight FUD (and related) with.
To make the service (we might call it that way, I guess) the most effective,
I think there should be as many native language versions as possible.

Well, perhaps a mild moderation of postings would be in place? Or a rule to
put a flamer into a quarantine for a while?
