Yes, my "how do I..." question was retaining to all of what you said. Support, attention, users, contributers.

I know how to do the site, front and back. I know how to host. I know where to host. I was simply looking for feedback on those questions as well as some general feedback on the idea.

And I will do. I'm a long time lurker, and this is my first post.

If you're in the Bay Area, a tech-blog-sponsored confab/brainstorming session on journalism in the web era is tomorrow:

Might be relevant to your concept, which I'd also be interested in discussing further if only there were contact info in your profile.

I unfortunately don't live in the Bay Area. I live in Sacramento, and have had the pleasure of going to the Googleplex, but unfortunately couldn't make it there.

Thanks for the link, though.
