My 12 year-old nephew recently contacted me with an idea he's had for building an online newsletter aggregator/manager - it seems that he subscribes to so many newsletters, that he's losing track, hence the idea.

My questions: has anyone here come across such a solution online? Is there merit in such a solution?

Thanks for any feedback.

I recently set up a site which collates After Effects expressions and scripts (http://xscriptorium.com). At the time of building I conceived only of one scenario: the person submitting an expression is also the author of that expression. As it turns out, the community has come up with another scenario: posting expressions that were written by others. Now, that obviously makes this site a lot more useful when it comes to collating this content but I'm wondering what the copyright and etiquette issues are? A lot of this will, I guess, revolve around where these expressions are sourced - a lot of the time expressions are posted on the After Effects mailing list, in answer to requests for a particular expression.

So now I'm wondering what I should do? Is it legal?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping for some feedback/advice on the following: I'm looking to set up an e-commerce solution for which I am going to invest approximately $10,000.- of my own money. However, I am not a programmer/have very little understanding of programming and, given that it's my own hard-earned cash, I'm very nervous about making a wrong decision.

Some stuff that's going through my head:

   1. am I better off building a functioning prototype (ie. an alpha site) with something like Drupal or Magento (though some of the site's features would require some expertise to expand the available functionality of either of these two solutions) or
   2. approaching a reputable firm to build the site from scratch or
   3. finding a freelance programmer to build the site from scratch.
   4. Obvious concerns with finding someone to carry out the work is whether or not they are capable of completing the work - I am not qualified to assess potential programmers' qualifications.
   5. How/where can I find someone to program the site for me (I am based in Melbourne, Australia)?

There are a large number of other questions going through my head but the above are the major concerns.

Any kind of pointers would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks

I'm looking for some comprehensive JavaScript resource and reference sites - I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

I need to find a reliable and free video sharing service that will allow our site's members to upload showreels in order to embed them on our site. High quality would be a bonus.

I've been running http://cleftworld.com/main for a year now but the site looks unimpressive. I have rebuilt it (in Drupal) and have redesigned from the ground up but am unable to do the themeing work myself (no experience in this area whatsoever). Does anyone on this site have any suggestions as to where I might find a hacker that would be prepared to do such work on a pro bono basis.

Is anyone here aware of a way to share a site's ad revenue with a site's users?

We are three partners in the process of starting up a business. However, we are not getting involved equally as far as time and money invested goes - are there any resources available that can guide us with regard to how to set things up fairly?
