Thanks for your response Ross. @rossmitchell
I had considered document-sharing applications – but having forums is critical I feel. There is also a peripheral advantage of using a website in that folk unconnected with the project will be able to see some of the information and hopefully visit in person to find out more.
I thank you for your advice – in particular regarding using a host. I was trying to save the hosting fee for the time that I spend developing the site as I am going to fund this myself for the first year or so. Cheapskate!
I’ll also look more into “Contributor level login”; I was looking at “Author level”. Ignorance is not always bliss!
Thanks again Ross – appreciate it!
