The site is now kinda sorta usable, so now it's time to invite people to break it, or at least find fault with it. Get yourself an account and start adding info. Check the task list regularly for little things to fix.

We don't expect this to be usable by complete idiots. The functionality trade-off in chasing that audience is just too high. The usability target is "better-than-Wikipedia". Anything that the average Wikipedian couldn't work out in a matter of seconds is considered a bug.

Given the open nature of the site, security's a real priority. Anybody should be able to do anything reasonable, but anonymous users should not be able to add content without completing a CAPTCHA. Non-administrative registered users should be able to do pretty much anything with content (although as a general rule, we don't believe in deleting data), but not anything structural (altering content types, views, etc.), and definitely not executing PHP or posting JavaScript, iFrames, etc.

The task list feature and core content types and views are the current priority. Once these have been beaten into shape we can export them to coffsharbour.com. Then we start looking at using Semantic Web magic to have the two sites talk to each other.
