Interesting.  I am presently working to bring The Freely Project off the 
'Net and into the real world.  I have at least one candidate for the Board 
of Directors for the first 'chapter'.  Part of our mission would be to raise 
funds to support development of CHADDB-Ekklesia, Ichthux, Sword, Lyricue and 
other Christian programs.  I have posted a call for people to participate in 
an international steering committee on the Freely website.

http://www.thefreelyproject.org/node/149

The basic mission of the steering committee would be to assist people in 
forming local chapters, and validating those.  I am presently working on a 
basic charter, job descriptions for a BOD, and all of that fun stuff.  The 
Freely Project website would host these kinds of materials as a sort of 
template.  People anywhere can start a chapter, in accordance with their own 
country's laws, raise their own funds, and oversee their own operations. 
However, the idea is that each chapter would look to the steering committee 
for guidance when needed.

Blessings,
Don
