OT - starting a project

[Kevin Fries]

You are asking for chaos!

My recommendation would be this...

Get a project going on PlanBox.  This will act as your central control and
management piece.

Get a GIT repo started at Github to allow those that come on to clone the
basics.

Pick a language or platform.  Hold fast to this choice.  Be it Ruby (with
or without Rails), Python, Node, or whatever, you need a common core to
build around.

At you git repo, create your README.MD file which has the beginnings of
what you are looking for.  No need to get to verbose, but enough to say
what the project is about, and to get people's interest.

Then look for people to join your quest.

Hey, guys, I have a very general question

There’s an idea I’ve had for quite a while, and was chatting with someone
recently who suggested I set up an open-source kind of project for it.

The problem is, I don’t really want to do the programming on it. I want to
be the architect and direct some other developers.

So what’s the best way to find a couple of people who’d like to work on an
app part-time?

Honetsly, I don’t care what it’s implemented in initially; a browser app is
fine, but it needs to read and write to a file system (local and/or
cloud-based).

Right now I’m just looking to build a proof-of-concept model and extend it
one step at a time.

The main architecture is an interactive graphical editor roughly similar to
Visio, but then it goes off into some interesting directoins.

Any ideas?
