If anyone out there knows the CMS called Drupal, or would spend some serious time learning it, let me know :)
We are making LMR on volentary basis, and we have many good things comming up.. but a lot more on the drawing board, so serious helping hands and minds thinking Drupal would be very welcome to join in. PM me if interested :)
We have an off-line testsite if you should want to practice some.
Hmmm, maybe…
Frits,
I’d like to contribute, but I hesitate to learn a new environment. What kind of “programming” are we talking about. Is it actually adding functionality to the existing features of Drupal? Or more like tweaking the occasional php page? Writing stuff from scratch, or adapting existing designs?
My experience in coding (apart from basic) is in shell and perl. PHP or Python would not be too far off for me. But I first need to understand the gravity of the projects you’re thinking about.

Well… It sounds like your energy is better used in making you author of a Weekly or monthly or even quarterly writeup!
For the project abovbe, you would need to know your PHP very well as the first thing. And then you would need to either know Drupal orget to know Drupal before we’d letyou in on more heat 
In other words, I think you are doing great, so just keep it up, we will find other people to help on this, or things will just be done slow as they are now

Want to spend the time it takes & know Drupal & get in on the dev team on LMR? PM me
sounds reasonable
And I will see about the next "Cool Happenings". Still looking for a (even) better title though.

If it is minor updates and not a major overhaul I can do some. I know PHP really well it is all I use on my private web server. How hard could Drupal be? Scheme is worse…

Drupal is a framework
Drupal is a framework written in php, for those folks familiar with PHP, you should be fine. It just like ROR(ruby framework), or Django(python framework), same concept.
I’d love to work on this project myself as I have used php for a long time now, but I lack even the time to spend on building bots on a regular basis…

php, work and spare time
I do a lot of php, mysql javascript vbscript some ruby and lots more at work. I started making robots to get away from that. I’ve given this a lot of thought and I’d really like to help making this website even better, but I have very little spare time and i’m afraid that doing more web programming turns my robot hobby thingy into work again. Sorry Fritz!

I follow you 100%
My own robot-production is down by 90% because of all the time I spend on the site!
You make cool stuff, however, so keep that up, because that is actually the best contribution… and it is what it is all about in the end
