Do you need help in this area, whether technical, hosting or something else? 
Have you considered putting the project on SourceForge? Maybe you could give 
a little background here of the status quo and goals.

there are other people whose English is less than great and who are afraid to 
write articles, but who could work on the project.

I love working with people who are stuck in the future.

I have a few technical questions which I will post under another header.
