I suppose it was time to fill in my profile anyway. Just a simple Canuck with global reach

Can I assume we have a fellow ozzy here!? Or just someone who has learnt about the impact of the developments etc

You could try to do something with a voiceover explaining the material - that would be a good way to cut down on the amount of reading.

No shortage of material, just money.. and time. There is limitless material available, text, graphics, powerpoint, PDF - the topic is the environmental impacts, practices and policies of the Sydney 2000 Olympics.

I am sorely tempted to throw profit to the wind on this one and go all out just to have it as a protfolio piece. I have no Flash background but grabbed the 30 day trial of Flash5 yesterday (after uninstalling my expired/unused Flash3 and Flash4 demos )

I am starting to get over some of the initial bumps in the learning curve. In other words - I can now make a little Flash site, it just looks like crap! If I can get a handle on things I may end up going that route - at least partially.

Oooh, interesting question. This is difficult for me because I'm one of those people who is constantly thinking about download speeds. I'm always trying to shave off a few seconds here, a few more there. I always design my sites to minimize download speeds.

So, hmmmm... I'd probably use a lot of flash and probably many more graphics than I would otherwise. It really depends on what your site is about - you don't say what kind of a resource site this will be, but I'm guessing that it'll be largely text based? YOu could liven it up with a lot of graphic illustrations and things like that maybe.
