Sounds like a really good idea, I would be willing to help.

You said about you need someone to donate the domain, do you mean you need someone to pay for it?

Because to get the project off the ground I could pay for it. The domain is already parked though.

Did we have anyone else thats willing to help? I would really like at

If someone gets the domain I will start working and putting things
