Happy New Year, Sean, et al.  I know I'm running a bit late but work's 
been extremely busy of late!

This is a great idea!  I think it would be good to have a site that has 
snapshots and brief interviews and I'd go one step ahead and say that we 
should include:
* Who built it?
* What it is about?
* Which extensions were used (and perhaps a rating per extension)?
* How much time did it take to get to deployment?
* What kind of hits is it getting and does it stand it?
* What is it deployed to?
* If there were 2 things you would change about Radiant to suit your 
project better, what would they be?
* How much custom development was needed?

Seriously, if this is in the US or Europe (since they are the most 
likely locations), I don't think I'd be able to attend.  But, it's a 
good idea.  If it does happen, I'd like to see a session there (about 2 
hours) where all the people in the room do nothing but update the wiki 
with their experience!  Think of the great documentation that would 
follow in those 2 hours :)
