Solves problems of current options and unlocks value. Maintains some privacy, keeps out random people.
Already have working version. Currently team of 2. Seeking person with strong programing skills that can create and enhance features. Starts out easy gets harder (but interesting) as it scales. Focus is turning logic in to code not making pretty screens. Looking for someone who buys in 100%, can commit to full time or with job, but zero other commitments, will dedicate every free moment to it. The goal is to create and updated version ready to delight thousands of concurrent users, in 1 month.

It's like CouchSurfing, but with no membership fee. There's no obligation to host. I just joined BeWelcome in May, but the community is very active.
It's run by a non-profit "association" in France called BeVolunteer (same structure as Wikipedia/Wikimedia). I see potential to start other projects within BeVolunteer, say BeBook, BeChat, BeMail. The real-life and online community of BeWelcome would encourage me to build code that people actually want to use. The network effect of hospitality exchange is powerful, and the legal experience of BeVolunteer is reassuring. For now I'm just discussing this idea on the BeWelcome forums and here on HN, but I see precedent (Wikibooks, Wiktionary) if dynamic people want to get involved. There's no money in it, but there is great kindness, and well-connected members!
Email is in my profile, let’s get in touch. I'm in the SF Bay Area.
