I'll help any I can. I can do some HTML. Maybe some people could work
on certain sections of the site?

Also html isn't the only way to help. People could submit graphics for
use on the site, content subbmission, all kinds of things. But there
would need to be some way to vote on what goes on the site. If we do
get a domain name i think a good way to do that is let the people who
have donated money vote on the content. Or we would have to figure a
way to poll the members, but that might not be that hard either....

Lots of stuff to work out but I think the club (as an addition to the
list) is a good idea.
