Bioinformatics expert needed for help in Human genetics project

I am planning to create a (human) Genome Browser website, that allows people to browse through chromosomes, genes, SNPs, Mutations, etc. I have a developer team able to program it, I have the basic layout and functionalities planned and now It is time to begin. I want to have at least one talented Bioinformatician in a discussion group via a Forum or Skype to give his/her inputs from a bioinformatics point of view.

I especially need help in getting access to open databases such as ENSEMBL, dbSNP and similar to allow my developers to scrape the genetic sequences off these sites and display them in our system.

I am the project leader and a Biotechnologist with understanding of the genome and databases. What I do not know is how to gain access to these (open to the public and free to use) databases. The developer team does not consist of Bioinformatician, but of high level software developers, so I would expect you to be able to discuss in non-technical terms.

I would start with a pay per hour system, but since this is likely going to be a very large (Wikipedia of human genetics) and very long project, we can find a long term employment solution later.
