Aki you've brought out the basis of my skepticism (on whether Al can get that team here) and I will expound: 1. As far as I know, there are very few, if at all any projects that have been developed from guys who met in the list despite this list existing for atleast 3 years. (If I'm wrong on this then the more the reason my argument is wrong). 2. It's not that Skunk(ette)s don't want to work together on a project, I think the issue (which I mentioned on my first reply) is guys don't have time. Personally I would like to participate in development of many projects mentioned in the list lakini time is on my back like a bad rash! 3. I feel most of the members in the list have not participated in any IT/Networks/Hardware/Software development/any other techie stuff, or are just fishing (I know that's not the spelling but I have a craving) for ideas. Given the above it would be good to know who is in the skunkworks list? I hear we have a few thousand people in the list but who are they and what do they do? Only 10-15 people seem to contribute regularly. Others (recently Al Kags) and myself have posted job vacancies for developers but no replies! With member information people like Al can be more focused in their search. In the long run this leads to a formal body of skunk(ette)s such as a society, which I've ranted on and on ... --- On Tue, 6/30/09, aki <aki275@googlemail.com> wrote:
