We should really be getting out in the developer community in the
area. We should be holding Ruby/Rails workshops to recruit more
people. I originally came from the .NET world, so I know the joy of
coming at Ruby from that angle.
I would hope to do them for free or at a minimal cost so the barrier
for people to come is more time based than financial based.
Again, it's a space/venue issue, but if we can all work it out, I
think it would be a great thing.

I wonder if we could make make an app for this (organizing a projects from volunteers with goals needs timeline etc voting for which projects gets off the ground etc)... just an idea. since people here seem like they are planning stuff. something like basecamp (although i have never seen an actual basecamp project) only open to everyone who need to organize anything. since we're planning to make a group made app anyway... my 2 cents.

For project collaboration, I'm a big fan of http://bettermeans.com and it's open source entity, http://bettermeans.org I think it's perfect for something like this. Also, it's a rails app.
As long as your project is open and public, you can have unlimited users and workstreams and host it on their servers. You can also deploy your own instance for free if you want.
There's a pretty good/short video on their homepage that explains why it's unique without being boring.

So how can we apply this to what were doing? can we list the projects that are being pushed and add the requirements of each into them and then vote for them? or add yourself to volunteer for each of the task that is required etc.. would you mind starting one? and sending us the link?

When you create a new account (you can login via google, fb, etc. if you want) and try to use the dashboard, you will be prompted to watch a new video that explains how to actually use the program.
