New page for everything about Miles..

I am planning to build up a new german-speaking internet-site about mileage-programms. I have some ideas that might be new and I`m looking for People who are interested in joining my project (not financially) and are willing to devote some time. My page will certainly be no competition to the sites that are currently on the net but it will be really new and useful to all members of Frequent Flyer Programms.

Sounds interesting to me - I could devote some time......

Being one of those superflous IT-Consultants I could provide some resources (more knowledge than time).

Some questions so far:
-Do we have someone to do the hosting for a reasonable price?
-Do we have a basic software platform that covers our needs?
-Do we want to limit this venture to the internet. Do we want to go wireless?
-Do we really have the resources (i.e. time) not only to set-up but develop this venture?
-Do we have a chance to cover the inevitable costs (hosting, licences etc.)

Another important issue: Do we really want to limit this to the german speaking audience? This considerably reduces the user community ... and i.t.e. the user community is what makes places like this so attractive.

Even http://www.flyersplaces.com seems to have some problems attracting enuff people.

I would participate, too - and could perhaps help out with some aspects Oliver mentioned as well.

Even more important than just setting this up is attracting some audience with real content... and that's what it comes down to. This site has to be maintained by us as well!
