Testing and feedback is highly appreciated. Specially testing on IE7 and 
possibly IE8 beta/RC whatever is available (hmm.. is the Windows 7 beta still 
open to public?). And of course Safari, I can run Chrome under a virtual Windows 
installation and Midori in Linux. But I wouldn't be surprised if Apple made some 
tweaks to the webkit powering Safari.

I think more people would be compelled to test it if was up and running on some 
web host. As it is now anyone wishing to try it out must set up a local http 
deamon with PHP and configure it as such.

Perhaps if someone took it upon him to keep an updated version using the 
"Developer Web" that SourceForge provides for team members.

Well, that depends on what kind of responsibility I'm going to have. As you must 
have noticed by now I don't spend that many hours a week. And usually never on 
weekdays as I just don't have the time.

Given that once the website is up and running it shouldn't require to much 
maintenance. Still I think this is something that should be shared by at least 2 
persons. Infact I think so for the other suggested positions as well, it never 
hurts to have a backup.

Once the website is done I was actually hoping to have a crack at the planets 
(blog aggregation) site to make the design match the website.
