Well it has been done before - evidence at 
http://www.linux.ie/articles/interviews/
 (witness the Gordon Matzigkeit, Mony Widenius and Caolan interviews at
the least).
No problems with it being done again, only reason why I haven't been
more active on this front is time and lack of questions coming in
(even from people that suggested who it was they'd like to see
interviewed).

Well the way I did it, as you might recall, was to 
1// take in the questions either off the list or mailed to me directly
2// compile them and send them off to the interviewee
3// write up answers and post to the website

I don't know if you want to improve on this proc. or come up with
your own, just thought it'd be handy for you to know how I did it
(and not all that badly either IMHO).
