hosting comparison matrix
Would someone be willing to set up a Drupal site with hosting companies as nodes, and a bunch of CCK fields for a list of criteria/answers we all decide are important specifically for Drupal? The nwe could have a bunch of clever views for sorting the lists. I'm saying 'someone' because I know enough to throw around some general terms, but not to put it together.
It would be super cool if we could get a remix of the devel module and make a 'host benchmark' module that you can run a quick report from and paste into the host listing on the matrix site. it could pull a server config profile, and run speed tests, etc.
Then comments on hosts could be backed up with some numbers, and not just 'these guys are slow' comments.

Good project for a local user group
I've brought it up at http://cdmug.org, the Chicago Drupal Users group... we'll see what kind of feedback I get.
