Learning languages

So, a big step has been taken on the journey to building the site. I' ve now learned CSS (and I've put these skills into practice by building my own site). the next step will be to learn PHP and (possibly) SQL.

My plan for building the interface for submitting/editing pieces of work on the site is to use an altered version of WordPress. Depending on what WordPress can do and what I need, I may use MediaWiki as well. How I will do this will have to be looked into more when I have the ability to understand the workings of the programmes.

Feel free to let me know your thoughts on these ideas.

If anyone else wishes to learn CSS (or various other languages like HTML, PHP, etc). I highly recommend W3Schools.

Proposal, presentation and research

Last week I did a presentation on my proposal for this project. There will be a video of the presentation available soon. For now, you'll have to make do with looking at my slides (which aren't exactly that helpful as I didn't exactly fill them with info) and my project proposal form.

I also completed a research project, where I looked at moderation systems used in various online communities. This serves as back-up research for the system I hope to implement as part of this project.
