    I think this is a very good initiative and I’m amazed that
    1 I’ve just spotted it
    and
    2 there was only one respondent to it!.
    For a UK audience I may be able to do something on colour management, I noticed that screen calibration was not in the list above but was requested by the first respondent Roger Woodridge. of course screen calibration would be a logical part of colourmanagement, perhaps alongside just why is colour management needed and what exactly does it/ can it do.
    if anyone’s interested they might like to contact me to register an interest?
