In some respects more and less than one might expect:-
1) A host (a server and a website)
2) IT people
3) Ideas people
4) Those with knowledge of Greek
The challenge would be to produce something which would interest
people enough, this would only be possible with a number of long term
voluntary contributors who build the worlds (this is assuming that
there is not the funding to pay people to work on the project).
But maybe the question is what level people would find acceptable, an
easier alternative like a forum where everyone uses koine Greek is
something I could set up in a few minutes if there is a demand for such.
