Yes, that sounds nice ! I did set up a page on our wiki about this : http://www.linux.lu/wiki/index.php/DistroMatrix feel free to add your ideas and/or start filling it up with content (to edit on the wiki you first need to sign in, on the bottom right corner, this is imply done with a valid WikiWord, most of us use ther names like PascalSteichen for instance, that both capitals are important ;))
