Hi there,
Quite a few years back when i was into programming i setup a forum/blog as a bit of a project to go along side my studies and it really helped motivate me and others.
My idea is a twist on that idea for my new hobby that is learning Japanese.
Would you be interested in a site, which will basically be a blog+forum type thing, that will be for Japanese students written in Japanese but of a low level and easy to understand. It would serve as a platform for Japanese students to get reading/writing in Japanese before jumping into a "real" japanese website which may be more daunting and contain distractions detrimental to study.
An example of its use could be that instead of going to an English speaking forum and asking for recommendations for TV programs/manga etc, you would write it in Japanese and the whole community would be Japanese students and therefore more understanding to mistakes in grammer; correcting your question if you made any mistakes.
What do you think?
EDIT: Another feature I have thought of would be an option to turn on mouseover furigana. I could make this myself quite easily if there aren't any existing solutions.

Lang-8.com pretty much does that (except you get corrections by native speakers, which is much cooler). ^_^ Check it out, it's really cool.

Lang-8 does this, but there's also Rikaichan for Firefox, which is much better anyway.
Happy New Year!
