    I strongly support this effort. However, I have always been curious:

    Can anyone estimate the cost to re-sign every road in the country? Every mile marker, "miles to exit", exit number (on highways that base exit numbers off mile markers), and speed limit sign would become obsolete.

    Some may argue that it's worth the cost on principle alone. It deserves careful analysis.

    The DLA manages over 5 million items and over $30 billion in sales / year using SAP, which is developed by a *German* company, and GOTS (Goverment Off The Shelf software) - http://www.dla.mil/facts.aspx. I challange you to name a free ERP solution that can handle that level of throughput with identical reliablity, or describe how you could convince a German company to release is source.
