Might be premature for me to volunteer something, but we could take a look at http://free.net.ph/ which Jijo owns and opens to the world... There's a public forum there, and a facility for submitting articles and stuff you can write (code, articles, links, etc.) -- did I mention that it's for free?
Maybe Jijo can say more about it than I can, after all He owns it. Sure is nice of him to let other people use his web space for open source development.
