Don't you see the problem here? You're asking for volunteers for the unknown. You need to tell people exactly what they're signing up for, or at least tell them you're holding a meeting to explain what needs you have. Once you get people there in a captive audience where they can't hide by lurking anonymously, you're more likely to get volunteers. I didn't quite grok what your 'Library project' was when reading it on the discuss list. I had questions similar to Bruce's (though I knew it didn't require coding :) But there wasn't much substance to it, and it left me wanting more information which never came. (you could say I should have asked, however, I shouldn't need to is the point. There are a whole bunch of people on that list that likely had similar questions. It's up to us as the organizers to provide either the answers, or the forum more conducive to questions getting asked.) -- Seeya, Paul -- Key fingerprint = 1660 FECC 5D21 D286 F853 E808 BB07 9239 53F1 28EE It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing, but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away. If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right! _______________________________________________ Gnhlug-org mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-org
