New Open Source Project

[Mark Phillips]

Phil,

The SourceForge projects I have worked on started as you did.

1. Feel a need
2. Look around for a solution - none avaiable
3. Think of a project to meet the need
4. Ask for help

My 2 cents - go for it! - Set up your project and site on sourceforge and 
start posting for developers to join you. Since you already have source 
ready to go, you are one step ahead of the game. Load the source you have 
into cvs on sourceforge, and start the party.

P.S. If you were interested in writing the project in Java, well then I 
would join in! Although, it is about time I learn PHP....

Hmm... sounds like you think I can't code. Not sure what I said to give you
that idea, but the fact is Finderz.NET is up and running and I did it all
myself (with a little help from a few contractors on eLance - for the 
boring
parts.) Maybe I'll just do it myself. Less debate that way. I just figured
having a "team" would add credibility. But there are lots of ways to skin
that cat.

PS- I did look @ SourceForge.net; all the related projects I saw there were
either vapor-ware or trivial.
