I believe that this will be a significant project for FSFE nevertheless: While the Fellows might do the rating, we still need to do the technical infrastructure, the communication, the coordination, the publicity work, and possibly some quality control of the input, and we need to do that in a long time frame.
I would recommend to check whether we have the free resources available before we start this.
Most definitely. The crowdsourced CertifiedOpen database could have a huge impact on the business around free software (including all the Linux-based phones, TVs, whatever), but only if it contains accurate and relevant information. This will at least require some systems administration and content moderation.
