[PROPOSAL] Project: Magnet [was: Suggestion for getting contributors]
Sorry for the cross-posting (just this one time).
I propose to build this project in the labs with the proposed name
'magnet' (doap attached). Suggestions for a better name highly appreciated.
Most of what's needed I will take from the Memories app I presented
@apachecon. Only 2 things are missing, the posting to twitter part (my
app only used searches, but not a biggie) and to modify the UI. I can
have a working alpha in about a week.
I hope the labs will accept this proposal and I assume that:
* on labs@ we'll continue the technical discussions
* on comdev@ we'll continue with more ideas/suggestions/requirements
* members@ will be aware of the effort.
Cheers,
Hadrian

I am not that concerned about the burden of community building in the
long run. In the short run, I assume that's the fastest and easiest way
to get results. A few committers expressed interest already so I assume
I won't be the only one contributing to it. We could be up and running,
online in a couple of weeks, depending on available time.
In labs@ we also have a bit more freedom to experiment ideas and I
suspect some general purpose artifacts will come out of this project and
we'll end up in the incubator at some point.
I removed members@ and labs@ on purpose from the cc list. I guess this
tread will go in different ways from here on and I'd prefer to not spam
everybody.
Thanks,
Hadrian

+1
If momentum were to happen to grow then I'm sure ComDev (via
Incubator) will be happy to give it a home. However, I assume you are
proposing it here so as not to take on the burden of community
building. In which case, no problem.
