the biggest question i have is how to handle authentication.

do we find lists of all the appropriate people and email them
a password we generate.

or should we just not try and leave it open in a wiki style

we could even just make the entire site be a wiki and let societies
put up their own choice of content.  although we would have to 
patrol it regularly to remove anything nasty, this may still be less
effort than writing a system and maintaining the lists.
