Space Colony Design interest level

While web browsing this week I came across http://compendium.open.ac.uk/institute which has a nice Issue Based Information System (IBIS) interface which made me think about dusting off some old IBIS based code and inserting it into this tool to add requirements traceability and recursive design. My goal is to create a complete design for a space colony. A lot could be done with compendium by almost anyone before it becomes necessary to expand it. It is just a matter of clear thinking and an interest in doing something.
However, as in all things, my efforts to put together a web site to do the work, www.SpaceColonyDesign.org, has run into snags. The current ones are that my hosting company has a filter that requires that I hand enter IPs that are allowed to access the mysql database. The bigger problem is that Compendium is not connecting to the database. Which is going to require a change to Compendium which causes other problems...
The question I have, "Is it worth the effort?". If I am going to do this as a solo project then I don't need a remote mysql database or a webpage. I also have another major project on going at www.nuclearfusionpower.us that has priority. So if I do this solo, it will have to wait a few years.
So, is anyone interested in helping design space colonies from scratch? The last time I asked this there was no response but I was going after a narrow technical approach. For this approach I am starting from a much higher level so it may be quite awhile before the design gets down into more technical aspects.
