Hey all,
 
So as a lot of you probably know, the existing Mono website has been the same, since, uhh, around the year 2000. So that's almost 9 years of the same design, which includes some major issues such as no database (so no song search/cross-referencing), manual HTML updating every time we add a release, archaic links all over the place, etc.
 
Now, with multiple ways of consuming music nowadays (our music is available on Last.fm, Archive.org, info via MySpace, on LegalTorrents.com, etc, etc) maybe it doesn't matter THAT much. But I would love to get an updated and better-looking site running some time in early 2009, with proper links to all the dynamic downloads/streaming sites, good artist crossreferencing, a better look, maybe even star ratings and dynamic reviews for releases, etc.
 
So I'm wondering if there are any Monotonik fans out there who either:
 
- are decent graphic artists/HTML creators to make the graphical basis of the new site.
- are good enough coders to whip up some PHP for the site to make the pages actually dynamic and have artist pages, etc.
- or both!
 
I might be able to pay you by sending you a few video games or even a couple of hundred bucks if necessary, but obviously Monotonik is totally a nonprofit so I can't really afford to pay requisite hourly rates.
 
Anyhow, if you're interested in having fun and making a new version of the site, ping me at simon at archive dot org and we'll work something out!
 
Thanks!
Simon

i can help code if need be.

Thanks for the kind offers, guys! I'll contact you in the next few days. My plan is to do a crappy looking mockup for code/usability reasons and then have someone (to be determined!) make it look pretty

i have just discovered Vim! and monotonik label through lastfm and me and my friends really like it, and would like to support your work. since we are freelancer web developers making your new web site would be really good way to help you.
 
we can do everything with database and codding, but we are not designers so if you can find someone to draw your new website -  we can make it.
 
here you can find some of the sites we have already done:

keep i mind that we are not responsible for design
 
btw. we are couple of linux freaks, that like to support free content and free software, we were in team that have localized creative commons licences in serbia and most of sites we are making in community developed cms http://drupal.org.

Apologies for the delay here - I want to get the new site's flow and usability sorted out before I get everyone who kindly volunteered helping on it. If anyone wants to track what I am up to (super simple HTML mockups!), it's here:
