#1. Definitely. This is not a one-man job.

#2. Possibly separate the webmastering and editing roles. Good webmasters are not necessarily good writers.

#3. Webhosting is cheap. If bandwidth gets to be a problem, images, sound files, and animations could be stored at ourmedia.org, which offers free hosting with unlimited bandwidth, and allows remote linking. (It's a nonprofit organization, created to encourage "public publishing," grassroots media, that sort of thing.)

#4. Sounds good.

#5. Worry about that bridge when you get to it.

#6. This might be the most critical job. Someone who can deal with the public, with the artists, and has the artistic vision to recognize a story that would make a good visual.

#7. Dunno if that will ever happen. There are other possibilities. A mailing list? A message board? Yahoogroup?

Message 35 - some encounters might be worth a whole animation, others might not. Perhaps a mix of single images, series of images, and full animations? That would reduce the work load when it comes to providing content.
