There are a few possibilities:
1- Just a page of links that can be copied to a few servers perhaps (makes it
difficult to update!) or maintained at 1 server. Someone can make a nice icon that will link to this page.
Adding a page of links is not difficult- getting people to update it  (and
getting people
to send in their information!) is harder.
2 - a Web Ring (I have not had good experience with these).
3- an "Alternate Information" banner exchange service. For this last, we will
have to find a willing host and someone to implement the software of course.
IF there is enough exposure for such banners (or pop-ups or whatever) it may
actually generate hits for members.
Perhaps some NGO with funds (MEW has none yet) can do this.
Best Regards,
A-
