Has anyone kept Fossas in an open setting? I've only ever seen them under wire, but wonder how they would be in perhaps a hot-wired woodland setting -- possibly hard to see?

I'm not sure, but I think Bioparc Valencia does keep them in an open setting.
 
Going by the film "Madagascar", it is pronounced 'fu-sa' but I am not 100% if this is the correct pronounciation. Also, this is how David Attenborough pronounces it.
 
I think it is 'foose' to rhyme with 'loose'. I'm not 100% sure but I think a final 'a' in Malagasy isn't pronounced so for example, sifaka is 'shifak'.
