Re: FlyToMars.com In Development - Volunteers Needed

FlyToMars.com, Inc. is planning to operate a community of free websites (no banner ads) targeting people interested in journeying to Outer Space, the final frontier.  Each website, known as a "space colony", initially will be limited to 2 mb of disk storage and guest book.  Contemplating providing message board, calendar and e-mail account as premium services.  These features will allow each space adventurer (member) to build a space colony on the web.  Upon registration the space adventurer will be  able to choose which planet in our solar system he/she wishes to colonize.  A directory will be available showcasing all colonies established on each planet.

FlyToMars.com is looking for pro-bono volunteers who will lend a helping hand to new users building home pages by offering tips and suggestions via our message board.  Volunteers will be known as Planetary Administrators.  These administrators and their lieutenants will patrol their planet for violations of its terms of service in exchange for additional free disk storage for their websites and e-mail accounts.

Interested persons should send an e-mail to newmediaempire@pcpostal.com or news@bcmlcorp.com with "Planetary Administrator" in the subject line.  FlyToMars.com is not expected to roll out until spring 2004.

Respectfully submitted,

Baruti M. Kamau, Founder
FlyToMars.com, Inc.

Re: FlyToMars.com In Development - Volunteers Needed

Do you mean giving tips and advice on HTML, Java, Flash and all that?
Do users have to build a homepage from the ground up, or do they get a 'framework' to 'fill in?'

(i'm not a programmer, sorry for the vague terminology)

The user will have both options:

1.  Build home page from scratch and
2.  Employ templates.

Yes provide tips and advice on HTML, Java, Flash and all that.

Sorry, count me out, then... I'm not into web-design and all that.
interesting idea, though.

cool  Not a problem.  Once FlyToMars.com is rolled out you can still join the community and setup your very own space colony.
