I'm considering doing a "Project of the month" thing were every month people submit a coding project they're working on, and then it's voted on. The winner would get featured on here, with a sticky, and on the front page of the main nerd corp website once I get it setup. Is this something you guys would be interested in?

Hm, I could participate if there's enough interest. I usually lack more on project ideas than I do time, though.

I'm the opposite, I have more than enough ideas, just not the skills or time to do them.

The trick is to setup a versioning system for the source. VisualSVN is something I have setup for enterprise development in the past. Its robust and simple enough so that anyone can use it. But there are tons of other options. Something like that could host a project of the month with restrictions on who can modify it. (as well as provide area's for public projects) Essentially a "SourceForge" like website with social networking aspects tightly knit to the core.

Telerik's Team Pulse is another powerful tool I have used. JIRA & Confluence are what we are using now, but Team Pulse is pretty awesome.

I like the way team pulse captures requirements as "User Stories", then ties them to tasks for the team. Its not cheap software by any means.

If you have some good/profitable ideas that you don't mind throwing out there I honestly want to spend more time coding.

That's all a bit further than I want to go. This would be more of a short write up, giving the coder advertising and myself content.

Not at all, I'll spend some time in the morning making a decent list for you.

It is tough setting up a custom server if you haven't done it before... You have to just create a subdomain (code.nerdforum.org) and update the IP with your authorative nameserver.

I used freeDNS to get http://cvillian.darkevil.net and registered it to my external IP. I have an old dual core w/ 2 GB of RAM running an FTP server and JBOSS 7. Comcast hasn't started bitching yet. Also if your ISP is providing your IP via DHCP, you will have to enable dynamic DNS updating, or just update the IP manually whenever it changes.

I'm not entirely sure why you're posting all this here. I have a server, a domain, and plenty of experience setting up websites. The idea is that people here submit the projects that they are working on to a voting poll, and the winner gets featured on another site I have.

so we will be voting based on screenshots and abstract write up?

A working demo will need to be provided as well.

this sounds cool, it'll most likely get my spirits back up to code. I never have good ideas though... :P

Same problem here.

I would also like to have a NerdForum project every month, something we can all work on... Together.

DEFINITELY! Whether it be a coding thing we work on, dungeons and dragons, or a writing club, I would be one of the first in line to join. This is a very good community and it'd be nice to do something. TOGETHER.
