Well, no matter what the technical solution
adopted is going to be, the key is that the
site contents should be totally user driven,
much alike wikipedia, not a set of symbols
chosen by a committee.

So the question about a symbol set being
"considered" would not really stand up,
if you'd care to point people to them
you'd just have to register to the site and
add a pointer to them or upload the symbols
directly there if the license allows it.

I know this would eventually mean some
bad content gets into the site, and
that's why peer ranking and item
related discussions are important,
if enough people get interested in the
site (if we reach a critical mass) then
good content will stand up by itself.

Cheers
Andrea
