   Hi everyone,

For some time now, a group of us have been discussing the concept of a LEGO site that the community could truly call its own-- community owned, designed, and operated. To this end, we have been endeavoring for more than half a year to bring that concept to life. After the recent announcement concerning WorldLUG, we decided that it would be a good time to bring this into the public eye.

Who are we? Presently, the group is made up of 9 people: Jacob Sparre Andersen, Steve Bliss, Dan Boger, Jennifer Boger, David Eaton, Sean Kenney, Jake Mckee, Richard Morton, and Calum Tsang.

What we have been working towards is a site called LEGOFan.net, that can act as a central hub for the community. A site where LEGO fans worldwide can get information, be directed towards resources, and interact. We also are developing an infrastructure that will allow community members to be involved with the running of the site, from administration tasks to open-source code maintenance. We hope in this way to actually create a site that is in all ways by fans, for fans.


why don’t you guys just take over WorldLUG. I’ll give you the whole architecture. Anybody can develop any module in any language, plus you can syndicate all the content out to people’s sites using XML/SOAP/RSS etc.

jus email me if you want, and I’ll pull all the code off of our dev server and from my code archives
