C# .NET/MySQL/MSSQL/PHP Developer (profession) + Dedicated server admin (hobbyist) here. I've asked if you need help few times, but no one seemed to care, so I was quite disapointed and I've never brought this topic again. 

[Unleashed2k]

Well we did have former staff here who went MIA, if we have positions filled we stop hiring obviously. It's nothing against you.

Now we're open, please resubmit your application. I'd like to do an interview with you @@Darjusz

[Darjusz]

But completely ignoring my free will of helping without even informing that you're full isn't anything good, right...? ;) Anyway, to not to sound like a douche I didn't worry and care, so no grief.  It's nothing against you.

 

Now, before I will submit my application, you need to know, that if you are looking for full commitment from my side you won't get it. I have my own life, as all of us here do, so please don't expect me to be for your every demand. It's hard to tie up everything that I do and want for the day, not mentioning random events preventing me from being available. I also want to know the current state of the infrastructure along with roadmap on what you're planning to do and achieve. 

 

Now that you know that I'm gonna to apply for few positions. :)

Regards,

Darjusz

[Gamut]

I've got a Computer Science degree, some industry webdev experience, and a lot of time on my hands. I'd be willing to help with one (or more) of these jobs.

What exactly are you thinking of for the Java development piece?

[Unleashed2k]

@@ice9 We need a lead developer to start our app project. If someone was to lead they would have a few other users to assist them (and if we didn't, we would get additional staff to help).

We want a song manager with advanced features. If you're interested please PM me.

What exactly are you thinking of for the Java development piece?

Dreddfoxx coded a tool for RS2012 which had some nice features and maybe you can get some ideas from it. The threads where users posted suggestions are gone with the old forum.

What are the reasons to use Java? If it's portabillity there are 2 platforms where users might run it - PC and Mac. I don't know if it would take too much effort to code it and port it to OSX as a native app or running a virtual machine.

You don't have to convince me on Java - I've been a Java dev for 15+ years :)  I love doing side projects, but I am trying to figure out if I have time to devote to it right now.

What do you think about me coding the app in C# (already started) and then you porting it to Java + making a cool GUI. I mean, it wouldn't take you as much time as making an app from scratch, but you'd still be doing a nice side project.  :)

 

(I already started making it and I'm going to talk with Unleashed.)

Why not use Mono? http://www.mono-project.com/

 

I'd like to use WPF, so someone who's good with GUI desinging can make a nice GUI, but Mono doesn't support WPF. I could use WinForms, too, but I think that WPF is better for more complex GUIs...

[Darjusz]

I'm familiar with WInForms and little WPF, so I can help. And I also recommend staying with C# (+Mono for releases on Linux/Mac). Maybe I could help.

[fateless]

C#/Javascript/Angular professional. Interested in volunteering if the positions haven't been filled in already.

[Lucas Pottersky]

why not just open-source the whole development & configuration thing? :D 

[slooker]

I'd be willing to help as well if you need someone.  Until recently, I was a java developer, and now I do front end stuff at work.  Javascript, React, node, etc.  Let me know!

I'm learning react now, node dev at my workplace currently.

cool stuff!

[Bornwild]

I would be more that happy to help anyway I can. I am not a programmer but I am on this site many times a day. I am retired and have lots of free time.

[Lazy Algorithm]

I am happy to help. I have years of experience in C#, and I have years of experience in IPB and PHP development. I am actually an Administrator and Developer for HaloTracks.org and have been working with skinning and making apps with IPB for them for a while.
