> it will be good if more organisations start producing their annual Open Source report cards. So I request volunteers to help us produce a simple webform which can be outputted to  a website with search facilities etc for collating information that will help all business and government organisations to produce [their] annual open source report card. We will also link this website with GeoForAll website and archive it etc.

Rather than a separate website, why not just use the OSGeo wiki[2]? MediaWiki has form extensions[3] (used with MySQL and PostgreSQL backing DBs). The wiki already supports search, and presumably is already archived (correct ?-)
