Jono. I know, but a million others did so maybe us people (and the press) need to make our fellow citizens more aware about small (technical) details making great differences in a whole range of areas.

As such I find it very strange that the Open Source community hasn't created, maintained and advertized a searchable historical data vault which lists and details all the facts about IT related affairs of the last ten years or so. Perhaps they don't quite understand what kind of public knowledge (=PR, =votes, =political influence) weapon that would be.
In an ideal world such a vault would be used by press reporters, researchers, politicians and who knows who else to do instant background research on each and every press release by whatever vendor, political party, etc, etc.
