PHP dev and aspiring entrepreneur calling for duty. I'd be happy to provide some insights, ideas and programming to this project. May I suggest "all of the above" when you suggest specific use cases. I'm sure we could benefit from all kinds of services, rather than focusing on just one, like a job board.
Perhaps a brainstorm is in order! * Jobs board * News * Startup feedback (there was a silicon valley topic a few days ago about giving feedback to new startups) * Idea brainstorming for people who want to get started or work on a second project * Forum for Australian related startup questions such as hosting locations, a list of Aussie investors, statistics on towns and cities, a people to connect with in the same industry. (While I do like the google group format, a forum may be more useful to some people) * Freelance site for programmers in Australia To answer your questions "a", I would straight away recommend Wordpress for it's ease of use and flexibility as a blog and job board, but for any other purpose it's probably not the best application. Kind regards, James Hilton.
