Well theres no use in saying there should be this that or the other its
something we need to do then.

A good way to start is so people can post up letters or point out errors
in articles & reports & especially M$ presentations & reports.
Then everyone works on that letter(like in a wikki)and at the endof the
day the website administrator sends it off to the relevant people, being
politicians or newsgroups & reporters.
The opensource way of doing it.
Might also be an idea to have this "lobby" group do some studies &
reports like TCO and the likes, ones that are fair & unscewed, and
especially up to date.
