I might be able to help build the site due to the following bits from my past:

  • Javascript/XHTML/etc. experience
  • WAMP/LAMP/ASP .NET experience
  • Coordinated >20 people across multiple time zones using web forums/online chat
  • Ran a website with a chatroom and used it to hold meetings
  • Slight obsession with user interfaces (built web applications/desktop applications)

Downside:

  • Due to personal things, I don't have the time to lead or contribute -hugely- to this effort.

Ideas:

  • Keep the project management side of things relatively transparent (perhaps using Github, SourceForge, or at least keeping the spec in a wiki).
  • Have a public bug tracker.

A small team has started the project. We're currently working out what we need; you'll probably hear from us soon.

Javascript/XHTML/etc. experience

This in particular might be very useful.

Due to personal things, I don't have the time to lead or contribute -hugely- to this effort.

You mention a wiki and/or bug tracker. I am thinking that setting up and running one might distract the programmers, but may not take much time for a single person to manage. Something to think about if it turns out you don't have enough time.

I'm using workflowy to map out all my programming projects. I find it more useful than a wiki.

Others on LW have found it useful.
