I propose that the UNI sponsor an "open source" project for collecting information collected from Ghost Sites, with the intent of freely sharing that information wth all capsuleers, so that we can accelerate the development of a Star Gate to the "New World".

We can support this with dedicated pages on the EVE University wiki, and with a new open discussion forum, where people could freely discuss and debate aspects of Ghost Sites and Star Gate technology.

I think it is important to start an open source, free-sharing project like this, so that smaller corps and alliances in New Eden can remain competitive with the null-sec power blocs. Otherwise, the large 0.0 alliances will simply hoard whatever they learn and construct their own Star Gate first. We can at least try to keep the playing field even by collecting and sharing information for all corps and alliances, so that perhaps multiple Star Gates can be constructed near simultaneously.

This would be a sustained, multi-year project, which would reflect well on EVE University. I know that the lore experts out there, such as Mark726, Morwen Lagann and Rhavas, who where drivers of the faded Arek'Jalaan project, would help organize and curate information. And I think we could forge agreements with other learning corps, like RvB, Brave Newbies and OUCH, to participate in this effort - not to mention all the smaller empire and wormhole-based corps out there.

I'd be delighted to own this project - if you agree it would be worthwhile.
