Perhaps we could use some of the Open Sourced code used on Kuro5hin.org,
I believe the project is called "scoop". One of the features is that the
*users* get to decide what gets posted. This would make the site
*almost* self maintained. Then only editors to fix spelling, broken
urls, etc would be needed. What does everyone think?

JMHO,

P.S. as far as volunteers go, where do I sigh up? ;)
