      Experience with unit testing, if so which framework?
      Contributions to open source projects?
      In PHP: Which frameworks used? What version of PHP?
      Database experience? If so which type and how large (rough MB, records estimate and queries per day on that)?

        Help me write questions. lol Zero, what else would you ask that could help you figure out where each person could be the most helpful? Aside from directly working on the coin, we know we’re going to need web programmers to assist the community, we’ll need people that don’t mind beta testing, we need those that will comb through code etc… etc…

        For my workflow, working with someone who can model an idea is more useful than specific language skill. I often have to lay on the couch to get ideas.

        We’re going to need to make the code readable. No source code changes at first, just make it so people can find the code that needs to be modified. Copying files and putting them in separate places so people can see them quickly.

        I’m not sure what to ask to this effect other than:
        Do you play Sudoku?
        Can you work a 9x9x9 Rubik’s Cube?
        A train from Chicago…

        Github is both a must and bewilderment is understandable. I love git. I struggle with commands.

        What style of programming are you most comfortable with?

        • Procedural
        • Object Oriented
        • Prototype Oriented (Javascript)
        • Functional

        Can you make a Visual Basic GUI like in CSI?

        What’s a good amount of comments to leave in the code?

            Sounds like we have a good list of questions to start with. I don’t want to have to answer 100 questions before getting going ;)

              I’m headed to work in a few, I’ll consolidate some of the questions later tonight. In the meantime, scroll above and introduce yourself. :)

                      The questions gathered thus far (specifically the additions by Tuck) seem to be pretty thorough, at least for an initial survey.

                      Are we going to be moving forward soon? I’m anxious to help if I can, even if the time I invest isn’t as great as some others will.

                        I know Zero is hard at work on his test coin. If you have an idea on something you’d like to specifically work on… please toss up a thread and let’s get some resources behind it!

                          Hi,

                          I think we all want to help but we do not know what to do to help. I do not have any experience in crypto currency but I can learn quick. Are there any list of subject we could work on or skills required ?
                          And/Or maybe some links that we could study to be able to help ?

                          Thanks
