Ideas For A Programmers' Association JOIN

[turbopowerdmaxsteel 0]

Great to see the topic gaining momentum. Not wasting anymore time, lets get started. I think we need a sound infrastructure to begin with. An IRC chat would also be needed for instant sharing of ideas. We would have to classify people on the basis of their skills, which would require a brief introduction as sparkx presented.

Here are some questions pondering my mind:-

Should we get a domain straightway or work with a free account based subdomain? Before, people start entrusting us with jobs shouldn't we develop some solid applications?

Lets hear on ideas about the infrastructure.

Here's the list and information of other people who've grouped with me, http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

Now, this is quite an interesting proposition. I would be really interested. But I do not think I can hire myself out as a coder as that is my day job and I am under contractual agreement with them.But I sure can work on graphic design - like icon design, menu design, layout design and other elements that are required.

Fair Enough. We would require personnel for each of the sectors:-Programming, Web-Designing, Designing, Database administration, etc.

Hmm... your idea sounds interesting. But, I'm almost a total novice at programming.

 

So, while this club is made for people who can program, can I still turn to you guys for troubleshooting ideas and advice?
