[PJUG Javamail] ORBlogs team seeking help

[Bill Jackson]

Don't be shy folks, step right up!  I have been trying to work on this 
for a while, but thus far have not had the time to be at all useful.  :-)

If there is anyone who wants to help out but maybe doesn't feel their 
coding skills are strong enough, join the Google group and let us know.  
This could be an opportunity to get some Agile exercise; I would be 
happy to help with peer code reviews, maybe some pair programming.  
Anyone?  Bueller?

Cheers,
-Bill

> I'm John Metta, one of the people working to try to bring ORBlogs back 
> to life. For those who don't know, ORBlogs is an Oregon Blog Aggregator 
> created by Paul Bausch (http://orblogs.com). Paul couldn't keep managing 
> the site and a number of us bloggers on Twitter and elsewhere took up 
> the cause to re-create it.
>
> One issue we are having is not enough Java experience. There is an 
> excellent Digg+aggregator called BigBark (http://bigbark.net) created 
> entirely in Java by Patrick Lightbody <http://twitter.com/plightbo>. He 
> can't take an active role right now, but has donated the code to the 
> cause and is allowing us to open source it. We've created a project page 
> for the code at http://code.google.com/p/orblogs/.

> We're looking for some experienced Java developers who have some time to 
> help us get this code up and running, and to help things along as we 
> come up to speed. We think there are people and experience enough to 
> maintain the codebase with one or two lead developers who are strong in 
> Java taking an active role.
>
> This is an #afterhours project for all of us, so we're looking for some 
> other people who'd be willing to help out. Patrick doesn't think the 
> code has too much work to be ready for prime time- then we need to hook 
> up our database and merge parsers created by A.J 
> <http://twitter.com/linuxaid>.
>
> Anyone with some time who's interested in helping us out, give me a shout.
