I seem to remember a flame-fest a while back among a number of IT societies on the KICTanet mailing-list.

I suspect the silence you're hearing right now is because any response to your questions from the societies might re-ignite a slug-fest.

A question: why don't you fly solo for a while? Get some usable code up and running, create a prototype and you may get a number of coders very willing to join you.

Think of it this way: what would your chances of funding be if you approached potential investors without a prototype? Asking people to join an initiative is just like asking for an investment, that's what this list has taught me. Without any code, I am highly unlikely to get anyone to join me on anything. Having code doesn't guarantee anything, but at least it's a good starting point.

My take-home message? Fly solo for a while with an aim of creating a prototype to attract like minds.

@Saidi, thnks for the adv. I'm still studying on the code part so not an issue for me, however along the way there are the usual questions. I came across the CSK site and wanted to know more and also see the worth of joining up, but thought to share the questions on the list. It may help others too and open horizons on the intensity of the ICT sector. :-)
