I think Brian is hoping to have version 1.0 of the site up and running  
by mid-Feb in anticipation of the planned launch of the licenses at  
National Library on Feb 28. His CWA team will be taking responsibility  
for implementation but I'm sure they would be happy to have input and  
support from others. Maybe email Brian directly (Brian.Opie AT vuw.ac.nz)  
to get in touch with CWA?

That's a cool idea. In my experience with Indymedia I've found that  
content hosting and open-publishing software adds quite a lot of  
complexity for the back-end coders, load on the webserver and demand  
on resources (eg hard drive space). On the other hand a web-form on  
cc.org.nz which allows users to choose a license and choose from a  
list of services which already offer free uploads could be a helpful  
resource:

http://www.Archive.org/
YouTube
etc
