I'd love to participate in development. What kind of programming

For web-based projects I usually use PHP/MySQL, though I can also
program in Perl and would like an excuse to learn Python.
I'd be particularly interested to have a go at implementing
a 'multiscript' view - ie: allowing a user to view the same Pali text
in a variety of Asian scripts. Mostly this should be fairly
straightforward, though I suppose there's probably a few special code
sequences for various rare glyphs that might require some specialised
rules.
Also, I happen to have recently registered for a 'three-domain'
package on a new hosting provider, and have a spare domain
remaining. As such I'm happy to pay for the domain name and pay
hosting costs for the project, if there is adequate interest in
proceeding. If the group agrees on a domain name then I'm happy to
register it immediately. paliscope.org?
