That does sound interesting. My Dad wants to manage a site for his hill 
walking club, but he doesn't want to have to learn HTML, or have to really 
work hard just to put up each week's pub rating. A good content-management 
system would suit him down to the ground, and so far we've only found ones 
that either weren't very good or were far too complexe. It might add another 
dimension to it if we aimed to make it user-friendly, as well as technically 
capable. I'm not at all skilled at actually coding anything, but I'd be more 
than happy to help with front-end design, etc.

I don't see any problem with that idea. About how much would we be talking?
