Request system

Ok so I was on a date with my wife tonight and she was being very patient with me once again as I brought up this game idea.  And something that came out of that brainstorming session was the idea of a request system.  Basically inside of a company sized element people can post a desired recipe and what materials are needed for it.  Then as players come back to the base they can choose which projects they want to support by donating materials to them.  Company commanders and officers will be able to prioritize these projects so players will know which ones need to be filled first.  Of course players aren't obligated to donate if they don't want to, but the faster things like bases and vehicles get built the better chances of the faction winning.  It also gives guidance to the player who is confused as to what to do next.  Once all of the necessary materials have been gathered the requesting player will be able to craft the item in question.  I would like to have some sort of notification go to the players, with something like text across the screen or a flashing icon in a corner of the screen.  Players will only be able to request for one recipe at a time so there isn't a situation where a players has spammed tons of their own projects that they want to get materials for.
