Interest groups

On ITT I have noticed person X,Y,and Z say that they are interested in
various topics like location services or PIM and would be spending time
investigating those topics.

So far I mostly see this forum get used for very specific technical
questions. It might be useful to form public but smaller, more casual
communities for people to bounce ideas off of each other and exchange
code (not necessarily on the same project,) maybe even coming up with
libraries organically.

Does this already happen? If not is this something people would want?

I have too many projects so I don't know how soon I would be using it
personally. :( But I thought I would bring it up.

Hi,

isn't this exactly what garage.maemo.org is all about?
There you can have projects, mailing lists, share code, look for other
developers, etc.

Cheers,
Martin

Re: Interest groups [In reply to]

Maybe you don't all want to work on the same project. Or maybe you
want to discuss projects before declaring one on garage.

We can't list interests on our profile. And can we actually start new
mailing lists?

If there is a way to use garage in the way I'm talking about, and there
could be, I haven't found it yet.

Hi Sarah,

you are right but it's to late to go back to Usenet groups discussion times,
as traffic has been forwarded to www board forums both commercial or non-for-profit sponsored by ads.
I can open another 10 projects but what counts is a smart coder who can make project a fully working application.
Developers don't show interest to have third party assistants as this is developer not project manager who can introduce an application to a market and make some profit.
If you are interested to start some projects, the only way is to have paid coders from - hire a coder - www boards.
Any good job should be paid.
So third party discussions on ongoing projects have no sense.
What makes sense is to donate and support best developers.

I wrote a simple "bounty" plugin [1] for garage back then. Anybody
can open a project at garage, can start "hiring" coders and throw in
bounties if he/she wishes so.
If you have a garage project then go to the "Admin" section of the
project and click on "Edit Public Info". Among the "plugins" tick the
box "Use Bounties plugin" and click the "Update" button. You will get
an extra tab for your project (similar to "Admin", "Trackers", "Lists"
etc) and you can start "managing bounties". The documentation is
missing for this small tool, but I am ready to answer questions.

Who will offer the 1st bounty at garage? ;)
