Who are you?

Having checked both your Google and Facebook profiles, you reveal nothing about what you are doing; all you seem to be doing is blitzing the link to this questionnaire as far as you can.  Having looked at the form you require name and email address, along with a couple of fields about algorithmic interest...

Then it's a few discretionary fields before "Do you want to contribute to us?"

Are you seriously expecting people to contribute to something that has absolutely nothing revealed about it - you are even appearing to hide behind a nondescript alias of "Algo- I".

Judging by the logo on your profile you might be something to do with CoderDojo, but anyone could use that logo.

We are in developing stage to build something substantial for the algorithmic(or tech) community.
Its a big project and we require help with people all over the world.
We are not at all associated with anyone.
We are student developers and want to make algorithms access easier and also providing proper platform for learning.

Apologies Geoff. I picked this e-mail up on my mobile and must have accidentally replied. I will complete all the details when I get home from holiday.

I think you should remove the coderDojo logo from your logo.

It's all a bit vague.

sorry for that unknowingly, we have used the soderdojo logo for our fb page cover pic, we will fix it soon, but our logo not at all matches with coderdojo

After spending some time digging around I'm fairly sure that you are working out of LNM Institute of Information Technology in Jaipur, India. I don't understand why you wouldn't just say that that was where you were from - the way that you are presenting this is making it appear in some way illicit. Your secrecy about who you are and where you're from is what is making people far more reluctant to join in.

With regard to the CoderDojo logo - see: https://coderdojo.com/coderdojo-logo/

You may have posted from your personal id, and I can see that you have posted in FB about Algo- I. However, attempting to spot a link from the Algo- I profile on either FB or G+ to you without knowing what to look for is difficult since, as far as I can see, you have only 'liked' posts made by the group page account.

If you're going to be open, then your profile pages on both FB and G+ should, at the very least, state that it is a project conducted by students of LNM Institute of Information Technology.

At the moment you are looking like a scammer collecting names and email addresses of people who are willing to hand over money.

The fact is that the spammer named "Aleksandra Snarska" gives more information in his post to the group wall asking for help to find hackers to look for deleted emails than you do about your entire project in every post I've so far found about it. This particular message remaining on the group wall does nothing to lend credence to your mission.

Please realise that I am attempting to help you with my comments - I'm trying to help you understand how your group may be perceived from the outside.

Kind regards,
Geoff

Thanks Geoff for your views, we will surely ponder over them

And the thing that we are asking people to fill the form is to get their views on our project and also get to know the interest of people in our project, and contribution point is not only for money(we havn't thought of money before putting that point), its for resources contribution in terms of codes and other things, but soon we realize based on user expectations that our small project is associated with many so to live upto their expectation, we decided to make it on a large scale and for that we require money, but still we hadn't ask anyone for money yet and will never going to do so till we have final model ready.
