That is always a problem with foss development, it requires more than
1 person to really get things moving. If you haven't done any code yet
than perhaps it might be worth joining our efforts? If you've got a
base to work from then perhaps it's worth using it.

And to reply to Mark,

I'm not keen on google app engine; I'd rather write the thing from
scratch and own and license it without fear that others could not host
it for their own teams. Besides there are plenty of people with plenty
of servers even in my state who would lend space for such projects.
