Looking for Dev TeamOkay, so we are looking for a few volunteers to help develop BRV with us. As Pah is going to be too busy for a while, I cannot do this alone. I will need around 3-4 people to volunteer with either developing the website or client. But keep in mind you have to know what you're doing, otherwise it would all just collapse.
I think it would be wise to have a team with us, so then we can finish BRV faster than its regular slow development.
Here are some applications if you would like to help with Blockland Revised. If you think you can do more than one job, then feel free to fill in more than one form out. Applications will be judged on both your skill-sets and your reputation in the community. But please make sure that you are capable to working with several people on this project, and be aware that there will be rough times ahead. Keep in mind that I am also helping with the project.
All of the jobs are sorted out from most needed to least needed.
Please post what you want to help with, and then feel free to add anything on what you have done / contributed in this community that relate to the skills required.

Since most of you (and I) are really busy / amateur programmers / have lives, don't expect yourself to get things done extremely fast or working, 24/7. Even with a team, this still takes a lot of time.
As we do not have a server / web host, we will be using
Gitlab as our development foundation for now. I will also create a skype group (no video / microphone required, just text chat), so we can all easily communicate and discuss certain things we need to develop (or just talk / release a bunch of steam :).
If you guys really want to volunteer and help with this project, then I will gather our team by the end of the week.
