 		Let's Change The Game: Code Monkeys Needed
...and other people besides!
So you might've heard about Adrian's fantastic Let's Change The Game project. If you haven't, it's basically an initiative to develop and build a game that will help raise money for the fantastic Cancer Research UK, but do check out the very informative site. It's currently in the "send us pitches" phase.

Anyway! I have this embryonic idea that I reckon might be quite good. But I am looking for HALP! I am especially looking for a coder (or coders) who can help build a database-driven site - you know, user accounts and that sort of thing. I'd also be interested in talking to people with Flash and/or AJAX skills, mainly in terms of prettifying user interfaces in combination with dynamic content.

However, even if you're not either of the above, please do get in touch if you'd like to be involved, by emailing me at:

guy DOT lewis DOT parsons AT gmail DOT com

...with your details and what sort of work you'd like to contribute. In return you'll (hopefully) get a unique behind the curtain experience (read: the giddy fun of sending people off to do ridiculous things) much praise, adulation and hyperbolic testimonials, and although you won't be paid, any expenses you incur will be covered. Development will primarily be Q1/Q2 2008.

(Also, if you know any digital agencies or freelancers who do pro bono work for good causes, or people active in the web/open source community who'd like to help raise money for vital research, please direct them towards this post. Thanks!)

 		I have a friend I'll let know about this, but if he's not interested I might brush up my php skills and fire off an email.

 		Just wanted to give you the heads up that Adrian has said you don't need to worry about this yet, so not to recruit people in to the group just for the sake of gtting various skills covered. There's a post up on the official forum. Seems best to wait until you see if you make the shortlist.

 		And a linky to that post. It's not really 'don't do it' more 'don't worry if you've not got people for the initial proposal stage'.

 		I'd also add that the website does say: "Teams must have at least three members" so you need at least a couple of other people willing to help by the time you pitch. For me, then, it was obviously a bonus if these people could bring specific skills to the team.
