Sounds possible. The site would need to have some disclaimer/warning that the articles are not verified if you use the anybody can post scheme.
I've thought about this too but I did not have any sources I would consider 1st or 2nd line. Nor did I have the time for this every day. If we can get several people together and the site can be known as the source that alpha owners/interested parties go to check out it could grab the vendors attention so that they keep them informed.
I might even be willing to help a little.
Calvin.
I do use alphalinux.org

Perhaps we could use some of the Open Sourced code used on Kuro5hin.org,
I believe the project is called "scoop". One of the features is that the
*users* get to decide what gets posted. This would make the site
*almost* self maintained. Then only editors to fix spelling, broken
urls, etc would be needed. What does everyone think?
JMHO,

P.S. as far as volunteers go, where do I sigh up? ;)
