It's just an open-source project to be done on an at-will, volunteer basis. Once I get the wheels in motion, I'll let you know. For now, I'm still just trying to see if anyone's willing to help out. On 4/26/07, Tijnema ! <tijnema@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:

Just count me as in :) I have server running here at my lan, and i use that for development, so i have root access to it :) It's running apache + PHP + MySQL, all compiled from source, i know how to compile apps etc in linux. I have experience in programming in various languages, which include the required PHP & C++. You may think that i'm too young (15) for this project, but please, don't under estimate me. Also, because i'm so young, i can learn things very quick. I understand new things very quickly. I'd like to write the hardest part of the code because i learn most from that :) Tijnema >
