Post subject: HELP Needed with very ambitious project

Hi all

well we think Petchat needs a certain something to set it apart from the other pet related sites out there, so to this end we are creating an animal index.

This index or directory will be a user submitted compilation of every animal species on the planet.

This is obviously a HUGE Task and to this end we need a small team of researchers to help compile and add entries.

the database will allow picture uploading with automated image resize so you can add a photo of the specific animal, i also need to know what fields i should be adding in, so far i have:-

Kingdom,
Phylum,
Class,
Order,
Family,
Genus,
Species,
Habitat,
Originates from,
photo/image

any other fields we should add ?
and any volunteers to help out ?
