My biggest concern has been my lack of resources to devote to a
new startup. So your help and energy are really appreciated!

Would it be possible to coordinate the selection using the existing
"spotlight" system? Something along these lines:

Submissions:

* Sites are submitted for consideration by posting them to a
   specific group. It could for example be named
   "lugnet.cool.submissions"?

Creating the voting page:

* Every week or month (whatever period is chosen), the CLSotW
   curator(s) select a limited number of the available submissions
   by including them on some kind of voting page (just some simple
   FTX code).

Voting:

* Lugnet members vote on the selected sites by rating those of
   the articles in the submission group which are included on the
   voting page.

Cool Site of the Week:

* The Cool Site of the Week is the site submitted in the highest
   rated article in the submission group - which has not been Cool
   Site of the Week yet.

   Simply ignoring the voting page, and just taking the highest
   rated article in the submission group, has two benefits:

    1) I suspect that it is easier to implement.
    2) It allows the rest of us to overrule the selection the
       CLSotW curator(s) decide to promote.

Play well,

Jacob
