CrowdCoded.com

Id like to recommend a new tool for Software/Hardware & IT
professionals.

CrowdCoded allows all development cycle professionals
(Developers ,Product/Project Managers, QA, Designers, Architects etc )
meet in one central point, and either post their projects or find a
project which fits their skills.
It is also a place to form a team ,or find a person with skills you
need for your project.

You might want to crowd-code for a proof-reader…

Also, funnily for a company promoting their “Real-Time Mobile
Multiplayer Gaming”, you use an OTS collaboration product like Oxwall
and have it render dreadfully on Android.

BTW What relevance has this to Rails? Or are you just spamming Google
groups?

Googles

yup… looking at the amount of times this message is already indexed,
you’re just spamming :-/

Dear Michael
Thank you for your response. In regards to your comments:

  1. By all means ,this is not spam. CrowdCoded is a service aimed at
    all development cycle professionals. It allows code freelancers to
    find/join/submit projects for free. Hence we thought it would be of
    good service to the Rails community (which has some freelancers among
    its members).
  2. We always strive to improve the service and look forward to
    constructive feedback. Try the site ,and then feel free to comment on:

Thanks again ,and have a great day.

I’ll bite. A few things:

  • Seriously, get a proofreader. At the very least, get somebody who
    knows how to put commas before the space. This sounds petty, but
    terribly written copy really makes the site feel like the kind of
    place that just wants to snag my email and send me spam.

  • LOOK at the pages before you publish them. Black text on #252424 is
    incredibly difficult to read, and it seems to happen quite a bit.

  • have some visibility of projects / freelancers before people sign
    up. This will both increase your visibility to Google and encourage
    people to sign up.

  • have some indication of what the business model is. I don’t know
    about the rest of the world, but I’m always somewhat suspicious of
    sites that have no visible means of support. If there’s not a
    strategy yet, a note to the effect that the site is currently in “free
    beta” would also work. For that matter, even stating that the site’s
    goal is to showcase IS’s work (essentially a webapp version of a
    retail “loss-leader”) would be helpful.
