Well Jack I have all the skills you listed and more, but alas I recently took a job in as a web project manager. Half kicking myself because before that I was studying business & web and looking for some type of opportunity like that.

I even considered opening a site very similar to the one you are working on. My site was going to be all about learning many different things. Basically a site about being a jack of all trades and learning skills. I love learning new things and that’s why I thought it would be a cool site.

Anyway, if I quite my job I will let you know.

Best of Luck,

Josiah

I’d like to offer to help with the videos on teaching some skills.

yeah and this one… http://buddypress.org/community/groups/wp-fb-autoconnect/ .. your right… no sense reinventing the wheel

I just discovered a wonderfull little plugin called Simple Facebook Connect: http://bit.ly/9ELWKR
Quite a robust thing. Many options and modular. Pick and choose which options to install. I like it

For example in my own life… i always looked at digg.com posts and sometimes I felt compelled to comment, however I just simply didn’t feel like registering for yet another site.

As soon as they popped FB connect on there I was all over it. Just saying… they aren’t exactly a niche site.

Jack,

I’ve downloaded and been playing with buddy press. One thing I’m not digging about it is the lack of facebook integration. I think something like this would be a lot more successful if you could login to it via facebook and also integrate well with facebook in other ways such as liking things and posting to your wall, etc.

Surveys and focus groups have shown most people think they already spend too much time on Facebook, and they would not consider joining another social network unless it integrated smoothly with Facebook.

I think if your trying to establish yourself in a niche you would have a HUGE advantage being able to at least offer facebook connect login

I’m actually considering taking the initiative to integrate facebook with buddypress this weekend, if I do I’ll post back and let you know how it went.

Ok, I have told my daughter we’ll go canoeing Saturday, but Let’s see what I can do!

@Norm,

And what if you absolutely consumed word press for the next two weeks? Just sayin…….

Wish I could do this! I am a great candidate, just that I don’t know wordpress, I am starting my own blog TONIGHT, so someday if there is another opening……..
