Hi,

I am a student at MIT founding a non-profit, with the mission to  
increase the number of college students who do meaningful community  
service. We are a young team, and looking for individuals with more  
rails experience to help with the development of the site.

While the mission may sound generic, I ensure you we have very unique  
ideas with a lot of growth potential. Also, although this is a 501©(3)  
venture, our business model is still very profitable. I can provide more  
information upon request. Please respond to maarnold [-!at!-] mit  
[!-dot-!] edu.

Thanks,

PS- Sorry if this is a repost, not sure if it went through.

According to my news reader you hijacked another thread. This is a bit  
impolite and also may not get you the attention you are trying to get.
