A quickie update
The site design is now mostly fleshed out. I've got an ASP.NET menu up and running, with a master page and skin.
I wrote my own wrapper for Google AdSense (so you can just drop the controls on a page) (I might make that publicly available as a free download at some point - the main reason for doing it was to refresh my memory of how ASP.NET controls are written).
User authentication is currently implemented using the standard ASP.NET membership framework, talking to a SQL Server database (although I may spend a little time and write a custom provider so that it works with MySql). The login page and "unauthenticated user" handling is all up and working on my home test bed.
So what am I waiting for?
Right now I'm writing the MySql schema for the site. Which means relearning a lot of SQL. But I'm rapidly getting there :)
End of update... we should be doing a public beta at some point in the future
