in reply to Community Teaching Project II - the Call to Arms

I am VERY excited about this project. I really appreciate being included although I am not a guru. Once I get home from this LAN party and get some sleep, I might be able to post some interesting ideas, but in the mean time I only have one:

As a form of inter-Project communication, how about using UBB? If someone has the bandwidth and webspace and time, I think that it would be a good way to communicate.

cheers,
redmist

    redmist, glad you're signing up. Be sure you get me your e-mail address in a /msg (and not a /msh... sigh)

    As far as gurus go, that's the whole *point*. We're not looking for geniuses who could code the project in a day. The idea is that folks like you and me who *aren't* the merlyns and vrooms of the world go through through the project development stages, contributing in areas that we're not strong in. To be given opportunities to learn about designing a GUI if all you've written is command-line projects, or getting involved in the loop about how projects are designed, managed, tested, coded, etc. And since we've chosen SourceForge, learning how to use toolchains to support the project. Learning how to work on a multi-programmer project. It's not just about the Perl.

    This project is a means to end, not an end to means. (Our new motto!)
