Sounds like a terrific idea, and a pretty big project. :) I'd just
like to offer you a kind word of warning, though, having written,
well, *quite a lot* of fake news over the last couple of years... it's
harder than it looks after the first couple of weeks. ;) Don't
underestimate the amount of time it would take to keep this thing
running!
