PinoyUK
One of the things I've been working on lately is a website slash forum for Filipinos in the UK. Ariel helped put it up, and we have been working on getting content on and tying up with some of the other communities here.
The biggest stumbling block so far is the lack of a shared vision among the different "cliques" we've been dealing with. I've had to massage the egos of some of them - it ain't pretty. Nothing more frustrating than trying to explain that no, your site is NOT meant to repeat what they've already done. I still have some emails to get through, and I'm not relishing it at all.
The forum is currently under the PinoyUK.com domain, at least it was until the original "founder" of the balita mailing list of the same name emailed Ariel asking us to change it.
At this point I'm already quite frustrated, but we'll see if we can come to an acceptable arrangement.
