The problem is going to be that all of the Languages can do what all of the Languages can do. Some just do parts easier than others.

IMHO I think C# is great for developers and Perl is a great language for SysAdmins to pick up on, I would personaly rate PHP/MySQL as being more built around the idea of making and managing web sites. The professional book crowd refer to them as LAMP or AMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) and its getting hard to find a book now on just one without the others being included.

But thats just my opinion. Another way to go on this might be to find out who is willing to help and what their backgrounds are in. Better to go with the skills for something that 'works ok' than trying to shift into a 'better' language which bogs the project down?

It could also be modular. The part which handles the turn trasfers might work better in another language than the one that updates webpages. They should be able to operate with each other and have no problems.
