That is the question we need to find out. But only by starting it will
we ever know. Agreed?

You don't even need big companies to approve or back you -- you just
need a website and the time to put into it.

It's a real need so then advertise and let the market take over.  Get
some community involvement.  Start with things that will draw people in.


The market is like gravity -- trying to force it to do something is
almost impossible if you're small.  What you want to do is grow your
project until it can reach the critical mass where it can't be ignored.

Then you use your influence to affect change. 

How serious are people with regard to fixing this problem?  Would people
put some time into a community run site that had the goal of becoming an
organization pointed towards becoming a primary depot of security
information?
