in reply to Community Teaching Project

The first thing that probably should be done is to establish everyones CVs/abilties and where they stand on the project hierarcy. If we've got project managers/team leaders/etc lets use them for their experience, also use more experienced coders as mentors for the less experienced.
The next stage before anything goes any further is, IMHO, to produce a requirements spec for what the project should acheive.
I will be interested to see ( and participate - this is not a negative comment) in how a distributed project will actually work.

    And then turn it on its head. Make the managers coders and the coders managers.

    ... I don't want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member, as Groucho said.

    Seriously though, the way to learn is to break something and then get it working again. I agree entirely with the need to establish the requirements spec first.
