http://www.sageweb.org/ is the website, and he wants it to eventually become a portal for aging research. There is only one programmer working on it so far though, so he is willing to accept outside help. Anyways, he's also not against the idea of paying people to do it (although if you'd like to do it for free, that's fine too).
Is anyone here interested? If so, please say so in this thread and I'll try to get you in touch with him.
Here is what his assistant told me, by the way:
Additional help on sageweb.org code-base is welcome, I am going to be opening up the source code for Sageweb.org at:
http://github.com/bradyo/sageweb
Developers will be able to download the code and submit changes to us through github. If you are interested, I can let you know when I get it uploaded (hopefully by this week).
When we were using Drupal, we added functionality through drupal modules and the modules began interacting in complex ways that were difficult to maintain. For us we were using >40 modules, many of the problems arose when trying to add support for full content revision tracking. I was using Drupal 6, Drupal 7 is out now and may have solved some of these problems.
I think Drupal works quite well "out of the box", but for a large customized site it was difficult to configure and maintain.
It would be possible to run a Drupal based site alongside the main site, but I would integrate the functionality/content into the main site where possible.
