(I'm not sure if I have posted to the right group, or if I should have
included other groups. Any ideas?)
All,
After a recent conversation over lunch with Sean Kenney, I started
thinking... there is a lot of programming/coding talent in the LEGO
Community. There are tons of people who know some amount of ASP, Java,
Coldfusion, PHP, C++, VisualBasic, etc.
If you all are anything like me, I am constantly coming up with ideas that
are beyond my novice coding abilities. Or come across things I would like to
add to the B.I. Portal, but I'm not sure where to start.
Wouldn't it be great if we had some sort of "network of knowledge"; a LEGO
Developer's Guild, so to speak, of people who would be willing to help out
on certain coding projects.
The great thing about having a "Guild" is that you would have to pass
certain requirements to join, which means that there would be some level of
trust involved. This means that I wouldn't have to just pass, for instance,
the codebase for the B.I. Portal and FTP info to somone I don't know and
don't understand how good their coding is. Rather, I would work with a
"certified" coder in ColdFusion.
In theory, this would allow us to all help each other make bigger and better
Web/software projects. I know that between work, life, LEGO building, and
other stuff, I can sometimes get tired of working on the B.I. Portal. It
worries me that the progress or stability of the site might be compromised
because of this.
What do you all think about this concept? Do you have other ideas for ways
to address this?
Jake

Although a coding guild is really outside my scope (until I start learning PHP and MySQL, which I really hope is relatively soon), I think it would benefit the community greatly. I've spent (...)
