Let the public build their own taskforce sites

To help

Since for some very sad reason Long Zheng decided to close down his taskforce sites to new submissions with a "The community Taskforce initiative has now come to a close." message, it is high time the public should be allowed to build their own taskforce communities based on any subjects or hobbies they may be intrested in, ie: if they run a local community club, those members of that club can post submissions to suggest new things about that community on a special website that would function exactly the same Long Zheng's taskforce sites. The rest of the community could then vote and comment on each submission.

This works by

Long Zheng would licence the source code to build a taskforce site under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 licence. People would have to give credit to Long Zheng at the bottom of the page saying something like, "Source code to this website provided courtesy of Long Zheng" and that would be also a link to his blog site. Also, provide some documentation so that the people building taskforce sites would having an understanding how to put the code together and how to use the various functions.

Here's a picture

Additional notes

If you really, really won't let us have any source code to your taskforce sites, just remember you are depriving people of the opportunity to create something that will seriously benefit their own communities.
