FreeAlternatives: project proposal

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

I have just uploaded a file containing information on a proposed project, FreeAlternatives.

To give you a short primer, the project is about creating a database containing information on FreeSoftware packages which can replace proprietary software. The proposal contains information on how the database could be built, kept up-to-date and extended by the community instead of a small group and still contain valid and approved data.

The proposal is written in plain-text and can be downloaded from here.

Discussion should take place on discussion__at__fsfeurope.org, but you are also welcome to leave your comments here or drop me an email at sp__at__fsfe.org.
