@Bazookoid I've been thinking of something similar for the Japanese market as well. So I would be interested in a collaboration.. Some questions: 1. What is the technology stack you chose to develop in? 2. Have you integrated i18n into the code base? 3. Will the whole or part of the code be open sourced to Github? (or similar) 4. Does this have a mobile component? Smartphone and/or feature phones? Or are you expecting to go to html5 based web apps for mobile? Responsive design?

1) Standard LAMP stack + codeigniter 2) Yes, there is full i18n support. The beta will initially launch in the UK, Italy and Spain (see later comments for why). 3) I have no plans to open source the code at present 4) There's a very strong mobile component. I have a contractor building iphone and android apps using Rhodes (http://rhomobile.com/products/rhodes/ http://rhomobile.com/products/rhodes/). The site itself is html5 and mobile friendly, but a mobile app will be required for anyone undertaking a task When I said it's similar to taskrabbit and zaarly I didn't mean to say it's a clone. It's similar to those sites the same way airbnb is similar to ebay or HN is similar to reddit - the underlying concept is similar but the implementation is very different. I'm not sure which market you're thinking of targeting but my site is focused on a niche in the travel sector, hence the three-country launch. I'm trying to solve a specific problem which will make use of the mobile camera, mic and sensors while a task is being carried out, hence the native mobile apps. It's intended for people already working in the travel industry so I'm not sure how relevant the code would be to your idea but it could easily be updated to a different market (with or without the mobile component). I'd be happy to discuss specifics by email.
