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 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.
(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!)
