[Dynapi-Dev] Admin - Please read

[Kevin F. <kfr...@id...>]

As a first timer to this post, forgive me if I'm going down a track that has
already been discarded and for the length of this post :ob

My background is web-site development specializing in a Cold Fusion backend
before that a designer and editor.  Like others who have found their way
here, we were all dutifully impressed with the power (and evolving
completeness) of the DynApi.  So here goes ...

There has been a lot of discussion about development co-ordination (here and
the help posts) about contributions being able to be made from any level;
about tangents that may or may not prove beneficial).  Dan has spoken of
introducing CVS and others IRC etc., More documentation is required, so
newbies can quickly come up to speed, the list goes on.

If the administrators choose, I have some webspace available, or a free
CFusion site like cfm-resources.com could be used where I could construct a
database/s that could ... dynamically update and output the authorised
'code', show who is currently working/doing what (alert emails of coarse),
multi-forums and multi-thread forum - one answer could be posted to several
threads (also output as listmail), tasks that could be performed by
'child-devs' (documentation, FAQ's, testing ... re:helplist) on their way to
becoming 'parent-devs', simple/complex search functions, widget libraries
(complete and otherwise).  I have made some other notes on functionality but
I don't want to bog this list down (as I may be well off the mark).
Management could be kept to a minimum with the right design.

Anyway, it's just an offer, if you are interested let me know.  If not, I
won't go away as I believe what is happening here is both significant in
itself and important to the future.

I know sourceforge has many of the above capabilities, but my machine feels
like it has been in the ring with Mike Tyson every time I logon.  :o)
