I have been pondering this new idea: The Open Source Victory Index

I hold a firm belief in the fact that in the end Open Source will prevail over proprietary software and standards that lock in users and hinder innovation. But wouldn’t it be nice to how far along we are?

So I thought of making a scoring scheme by which one would analyze a number of RSS feeds and use the resulting score to form an index that shows how the current stream of news reflects the epic struggle for an open society.

I was thinking of including 4 feeds in this index:

• ZDNET
• Slashdot
• The Register
• heise News (in my eyes the best tech news site, albeit being mostly in German)

The scoring scheme itself need some work but I find it an interesting idea.
