I don't believe at first it is that important to ensure no fake entries, it is more crucial to get this project started at first then deal with the more troublesome details. The best approach is probably to start out with a v1 as an experiment - get interested parties involved, start testing, evaluate your results, modify as necessary... ... once you have something that's been proven on a smaller scale, you can look to expand the scope and get more wide-spread usage. -Antony
