Okay, I am officially terrified...
I'm building a news site alternative to Slashdot. I've only started a couple of hours ago, this wiki is a temporary measure so that volunteers can coordinate and others can see what's happening.
I intend to run a site much like Slashdot used to be - better articles, less decoration and less "in your face" functionality. I'm looking for volunteers to help with setup and running the site. If the site becomes profitable, I intend to hire from the pool of volunteers. If you've ever wanted to participate in a site like Slashdot, here's your chance!
I'm particularly in need of people who can:
- Set up and manage a high-traffic site (servers, load-balancers, data sites, &c)
- Edit story submissions
- HTML, CSS, and script creation/bugfix/repair

Current Progress
- Registered "AltSlashdot.org", also ".com" and ".net".
- Purchased hosting through BlueHost
- I'm wading through SlashCode, learning the install procedures.
ToDo
- Install SlashCode on my home server.
When I'm comfortable with the install and get the kinks worked out, I'll try installing it on the production site
- Install SlashCode on the production site
- Get some people to help with the site
- Find and submit some stories
