So the aforementioned "Participate" homepage went live this morning, and we have received nearly 400 ideas thus far - some good, some bad. Here are some of may favorites:Offer free Oracle Enterprise licenses to ISPs. Currently, MySQL & SQL Server dominate this market. Why? You can barely find any ISP that offers Oracle at all.
