Looks like a neat project. After taking a little bit of a look at it I think it might be useful for us to look at their "Decision support" tools section. Everything in this section seems a little bit different than what we were looking at, but they are nice examples for us to look at while thinking about what it is that we want to make. http://foss4lib.org/decision-support

I would suggest that we take some time on the next call to review the site and decision support tools specifically and use that as an opportunity to reflect a little more and refine exactly what we want to create.
