That's all really cool news :-)
To anyone else interested Rob Scott and I have been
working for two days now on a properly documented
explanation of some of the main issues involved in
this project, and our solutions:
1) Hosting (databases? XML? mySQL? Perl? etc)
2) Moderating
With very detailed explanations of how to implement it
all (to prove we could do it if asked, as a lot of
ideas so far have been posted without any idea of
implementation).
