Re: [Skunkworks] Of freelance teams and project afya et al.
Congratulations to the skunk(ette)s team! @ Al: I think more skunk(ette)s are interested but they only have 24 hours in a day... I'm definately keen on seeing how Project Afya goes. I hope the team can share issues they have during development, so that quality is not sacrificed. Perhaps the team can have a wiki where skunk(ette)s can contribute? And BIG THANKS Al especially for pushing for a skunk(ette)s team. 8~) --- On Wed, 7/15/09, Al Kags <alkags@gmail.com> wrote: From: Al Kags <alkags@gmail.com> Subject: [Skunkworks] Of freelance teams and project afya et al. To: skunkworks@my.co.ke Date: Wednesday, July 15, 2009, 7:53 AM Skunk(ettes), I am informed that only one team responded to the project Afya. This team, it seems, consists of some serious professionals and they will be meeting with the client in the next few days. I suppose that only one team responded suggests to me that most skunk(ette)s are uninterested/unable/un-confident to work in teams and bid for work. I had a few who said to me that they had never before bid or done a profile of themselves and therefore were not confident. I had a number of company executives from web companies - including one who is fairly active on this forum - suggest to me that giving a chance to freelance developers is a waste of time and the work should be given to them. One supposes that we shall watch Project Afya's performance with interest. In other news, I had another set of clients who have a project that we can call 'project watu' who have interest in trying out a freelance team. Should they hold out any hope that this model could work in skunkworks?

I agree with Wes.I believe most developers would jump at an opportunity like that, but have time constraints.In such a case, I believe its prudent not to participate in a project than to participate in one, promising heaven and not delivering in time. Some of us are in the medical/medical research sector and would be a valuable resource but can't participate now, therefore I would encourage the team to share the issues that they have as Wes has said.More skunks would then help in this.

There is a lot of support and good will on this list and it's encouraging. It will be great if it continues and as the team shares as much as possible from the project's progress. This is also a great opportunity and it's a win-win; we should look forward to such and always come out; that way the model will become more impressive; Project Afya team must be ready to give it the face it deserves and I believe it will On Wed, Jul 15, 2009 at 8:40 AM, Edwin Wambua<eddwak@gmail.com> wrote:
