Essentially, pages for FAQ, user profiles, and an ability to post feedback, along with a calendar.<br /><br />As an aside, I'm not sure if CouchSurfing can already be used, to some extent, for the intended purpose.<br /><br />By the way - I'd think hosting a project like this on an independent domain or a university URL would make me feel more sure than having to navigate to proboards (you can install phpBB or whatever they use on your server). <br /><br />IAC, useful pointer - bookmarked!Neeldharahttp://www.imsc.res.in/~neeldharanoreply@blogger.com
