Hailing from State College, PA (home of Penn State) here. Working on an app that aims to be a one-stop shop for open source learning: a cross between Wikipedia (for students) and SourceForge (for teachers); with courses, lectures, classes, and tutorials that anyone can create, edit and use.

Unfortunately, I was an absolute noob when I came up with the idea ~8 months ago, so I am learning as I go along (ironically, what I really need is something like ezLearnz to help accelerate my learning). As such, progress is slower than I expected; I hoped to have launched ezLearnz by February, but I still have some development to do. Hopefully, the launch will occur within a week, give or take a few days, at http://beta.ezlearnz.com . I'm developing in RoR, so a RoR developer would be ideal.

My contact details are in my (public) profile.

Three liberating real-world app ideas on the table. Atlanta, 30.Two successful ventures under belt. Looking for young-ish, VP of Engineering to partner / co-found / code third.

"Real-world app ideas" Elaborate?

If you wish to ask questions - get in touch & meet. Keep it enigmatic.

I'm 28 in Atlanta as well and have been tinkering with a couple of ideas. Started a company back in college about five years ago in the CRM tech support space, but failed due to lack of expertise in marketing.

I'm not really interested in doing anything web-based though since my background is mainly desktop Windows development in C# for a few years now. If anyone's interested in talking to see if there might be some synergy shoot me an e-mail.

Switzerland, Luxembourg or inbetween ;)

25, university degree, looking for a cofounder with experience in natural language processing and clustering of documents (like http://www.cs.utoronto.ca/~hinton/absps/sh.pdf someone else posted below). Preferentially Java. Idea is blog search related.

sharpshoot: What's the reasoning behind Rule 3: 'Keep it enigmatic'? I'm in Bristol, UK if anyone wishes to get in touch.

Guessing: you have to be serious enough about actually co-founding something that you're willing to meet people in person to get opportunities.
