I am currently working on a side project in my spare time and I could use some help. I can't offer any money, but I'd be happy to split the shareware fees if we get any after the software is released (if we release it as shareware - I'm open to the idea of open-sourcing it, release it as careware or freeware, or whatever).
The project is based around the idea of creating a better media player with improved random playback to simulate all the song selection concepts used by a radio station: weighted random selection (play more popular song more often, less popular song less often), scheduled songs and sound clips, station announcements, no repeat days, two-for-tuesday (N songs in a row by the same artist/group), separate playlist between pending request queue and complete song collection, and many many more feature ideas.
I need help because my day job takes too much of my time for me to realistically be able to complete this project on my own. If I could get one or two helpers familiar with MFC, C++, MS Visual C++ v6+, and preferably familiarity with the WinAMP SDK or the extension libraries for some other extendable media player that is worth extending, then I think we could crank it out in a realistic time frame.
email me for more project details, design documents, etc: rismisner@ameritech.netrent song selection schemes for different days (two-for-tuesday, no-repeat friday, etc)
------------
Details about what kind of help is wanted:
I'm mostly looking for somebody to help with the user interface side of the application. I am familiar with MFC, C++, and MS Visual C++ 6. I would like to find someone who is familiar with the WinAMP SDK for handling the interface to WinAMP if we implement this as a WinAMP plug-in, or some degree of equivalent experience with some other kind of enhanceable media player that is worth using. WinAMP would really be ideal since it is so popular and commonly used. I'd rather not create my own media player from scratch using borrowed media playback libraries if I can enhance an existing framework instead.
Bare minimum required skills: familiarioty with C/C++, MFC, Visual C++ 6+.
-------------------------
Why I'm asking for help:
I have a day job that sucks up the vast majority of my time for writing software projects. If I do this all by myself it will probably never be finished simply for a lack of time to work on it. If I could get one or two helpers, I could actually finish the project in a reasonable time. My goal is to have something I can use to improve my daily work experience with a better music player. I plan to release the project as shareware or careware or possibly open-source it depending on the opinions of partners who offer to help - I'm open to a variety of options in that regard.
Anyone interested in assisting on this project, please email rismisner@ameritech.net. I can email you my complete design documents and we can divide up tasks, etc. If somebody would like to steal this idea and implement it before I can get around to it, please let me know: I won't be mad, I just want to use it!

I am currently looking for help working on the next generation of my distributed rendering management software, Smedge.
Smedge is designed to help make use of mulitple machines to distribute a task, most commonly the rendering of animation. It is designed to be very powerful, very flexible, yet very easy to use, and testament to the success of this design is in the fact that many of the top end animation shops around the world are currently using it. The next generation is to port Smedge to other platforms and allow it to work across all platforms at the same time.
The initial port will be to get Linux and NT based windows running. Further platforms I would like to include would be Irix and Mac OS-X. However, I would like to be able to add additional platforms as needed.
I am looking for programmers with a very strong knowledge of networking code, of threads, of shell integration and OS specific issues, like file system management. Smedge is currently written in C++, using a combination of MFC, STL, and custom libraries, but I am not 100% committed to C++ if someone has a better idea.
You can find more information about the current product here:

Please contact me at robin@uberware.net
Thanks

As of now the forum board is not yet finish you can expect to see some links that have no content but it is 80% complete.
Well thank if you register and visit the forum and here's the link
http://www.eureka.ph/fmb/

I'm busy documenting (read: redoing the Due Diligence document of) a current application,system & network architecture of a V. large organisation and wanted to know what is a good way to represent this data.
Definitely want a visual format (already +170MB's of docs). Originally template was in Excel -- terrible.
Any ideas / tools to do this in?
A sample pic would be schweet.
Cheers,
Simon

Hello,
I've created a project on the Source Forge site. Basically the aim is to create a shell extension to add a context menu option to explorer to print the contents(folders and files) of the selected folder. I could probably manage it alone but I reckon it'll be interesting to work with other developers. Anybody interested?
If you read the forum on planning you'll see that I've listed some Code Project articles which I'm using as references/tutorials/code-that-I'm-going-to-rip-off 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/printfldr/
Laters,
John

I believe the program you have written, although I did not test it, will print out "hello word" (without quotes)

No - it'll cause a compiler error, unless he goes back and edits the post and clicks the 'No HTML' checkbox

Hello all,
I have finally finished a reasonable port to PHP of the CP Discussion Boards. Please have a look and let me know what is broken.
CP PHP Forum
Please note that the functionality is roughly the same as that provided by the ASP-only discussion boards (i.e., very limited).
Thanks!

Everything looks good to me. There are a few niggling little things like not scrolling to the current message, but it is a good start.
This is the answer text. I don't know what it is.

Probably not as an article because there is no PHP section, but I will eventually give the code to Uwe or Chris to add as a download from the CP Discussion Forum article.

Great. I only ask as I would be interested to have a look at the forums (as well as learn ASP/PHP). I have a friend from back in school who has broadband access and a Linux box that he uses for Web Hosting and mail. So I thought I could set this up on his box and have a look. Still no job and my computer is pre-Pentium II (last job provided everything so never spent to get my own) so no chance to do ASP.
Looked over your web page/site last night, a good read and a great site. Just wondering if you have the site hosted or if you have your own *nix box connected to the net to host all your stuff on?
Happy for you to reply direct via email if you wish to save bringing up old threads from CP.

Hi Jon,
How far are you planning on taking this? I'm currently using w-agora for the forums on my site (see sig), which is very good in a lot of ways, but nothing beats the CP forums in that pages don't need to be reloaded to view messages.

I plan to go all the way with these boards. I maintain three sites, and I intend to put the forums on all three, so I'm going to put a lot of work into these boards. I'm going to add the DHTML view, smilies, membership capabilities, and anything else I (or anyone!) might need.

Sounds great. w-agora has very good back end admin section and that enables a lot of control over the look/feel/capabilities of the forums without you having to muck with any of the PHP code. Have a look at www.w-agora.net. Are you planning on setting up a way to keep folks like me informed of your progress - a forum for example?

I hadn't planned on it, but since there is interest, then I definitely will. Unfortunately, development will be a little slower over the next 3 months because I'm finishing up at the uni, but I'm going to work on it whenever I can (probably a couple hours/week).
Most likely, I will create a forum at the existing site, http://www.sagara.org/forum/.
