I agree with that, I think there should be something in the news about
this!  I don't know if this has already been thought of, but Commons
doesn't get very much press coverage (mind you nor does Wikipedia in
England at least) so it would be very interesting and maybe Commons
could gain even more files from it being publicised?!
