I have to say I'm a lot like Shane in that respect too -- downloading until
something works -- but I'd be willing to help administer such a system.  I'm
currently working as an undergrad for the TAMU Physics Dept. as a
webmaster/sysop.  I've been looking into putting out website into CVS and
also setting up bonsai so at least those of us developing our website can
see how things are being changed -- we have about as many cgi scripts as
regular html files (I'm currently trying to figure out a way to make our
site themeable - each person can decide how _they_ want to see it - a la E)..  

While I wouldn't want to be the sole proprieter of such a venture, I'd be
willing to lend a hand where I could.
