Don't try and duplicate what is available with either, its just extra work, and may make it much less likely that anyone will use your site. Instead, find something unique that would be helpful to the community at large, and once you have that and a stronger user base, you can add more features.
Good luck!

I think an open niche would be a website focused more on financing and sustaining teams. CD has forums for this, but they are somewhat underused, it is more of a technical resource. Getting lots of teams to pool their online resources (presentations, videos, manuals, etc.) on starting new teams would be a good start since most have plenty of documentation.
