My dad's project, actually.
He's forming a non-profit organisation which will run a website. The website will (eventually) document every print of Australian flora or fauna published before 1900, mainly for research purposes.
So basically it will be a database with a bunch of pictures and descriptions in it - dimensions, publishing history, bio of the artist or engraver, and so on. The database will be updated by a community of volunteers, most of whom will be non-technical and this the content management system needs to be super easy to use, and allow a certain workflow (entries are put in by volunteers, then checked before being published by editors).
My girlfriend has written a spec (she consults to large companies re-doing their web presence) so if anyone's interested drop me a PM or an e-mail and you can see what it's all about.
I was imagining it as a MySQL database front ended with something like PHP Nuke or whatever; perhaps a forum as well. If anyone has any other ideas, suggestions, time/skills to donate, whatever, I'd love to hear from you.
