In my last post I asked for your help picking the right name for my project. Thanks for all your feedback. Helpalot will be the name, it's short, easy to remember and is informative about the content of the site.

As a reminder a quick summary of the project; building a decentralized charity website with social network aspects. 

Now I'm going towards building a first test version. I plan to build it in May, so I can start testing in June. I could use your advice on how to go about this. The way I see it now, I have three choices:

• Building from scratch
• Using open source components, (someting like) Joomla!
• Using (someting like) Ning.com

 I can use your advice, comment here or on my project blog www.makingthesite.com.
