Hey,
As most of you know, I am the sole owner of touch innovation. I have done alot to this website (and I still have more to come). THe problem is, over the next half year I have alot of work ahead of me, that affects my future. But I don't particulary want to go into it.
I want someone that can look after and keep the site going for up to 6 months. I know you're thinking "What's the point in this, what do I get out of it?". Well, you get experience.
You'll get a weekly number of emails, submissions etc from people that use the website, you can monitor these, and help out there questions.
You can add programs from here etc.
Why Am I asking this?
I have spent months and months of coding this website (considering the website is only 4 months old, it's a lot of work). And I've hit a niche in the market, people want a website like this, and I am supplying them with one, but I need it to be updated while I am gone. Maybe some marketing (aka advertising) as well, so everything is running peak, and more users are coming.
This is a non-profit organisation, I make no money out of it.
I will pay the guy at the end (maybe), dependant on how much they have done to the website. And I want them to take it upon them self to make any adjustments. The site will potentially be yours for the half year (I will be checking up on it, and If there are some changes that are iffy, I will contact you about it).
It's good experience, and maybe helping me + the community out for a while.
Thanks guys,
-------------------
Okay, another idea, A team of people can request to be part of the team, and keep the site running well and keep it updated for the time I'm gone
Touch Innovation team (to-be's):
nir36
jackkkkk
Kenshino
jdiperla

Hannigan174
churka
Thanks for anyone who helps in advance, I will be up for giving a little price tag at the end, dependant on whether they've applied effort to maintain the site
No one?
I think it would be awesome to have this opportunity but I have no experience in html coding. Just the basics.
I thought I had replied to this :/
Erm, you dont need any html coding skills. You just need to know how to keep a website updated (using xda, and others) using my simple but easy and clever admin panel. Also advertise to keep hits up etc.
Napbree, I would gladly take this website, but i'm MEGAbusy with studies and work.
I suggest that instead of granting this website to another "sole" person, you create users in your admin panel and grant them to a few people who will keep it updated. I build websites and I can tell you that there's no way i'd be able to handle even one of those i've built, myself.
If a group of people are willing to help, I will be one of them.
I'll also try creating commercial opportunities for the website - profitwise.
I'd usually say "This is not the place to post these kind of posts.. use the Q&A section".. which comes naturally nowadays..
but considering the importance of this... I think we need this thread bumped up until you manage to get what you wish for.
Yes, that would be great. You've given me an awesome idea. A team of people that can mointor and keep the site up and running well, and content updated etc.
I'll start making a list of people who want to become part of the team
And if you could get a commercial opportunity, that would be amazing. I'd be up for selling it as well (maybe). It's just I want to keep the site of my hands for a while. Because my dad died only a week ago, and i'm entering a state of depression, and I need to get out into the world and keep myself busy.
Thanks
Someone?
I really like this site, and would like to see it continue.
Nathan has done such great job on developing this site, it would be shame, to see it gone waste!
So anyone who has motivation and some time to take this site under ownership, please contact nathan!
Ps. I'm one of admins of this site, and can tell you that it's really easy to update site, because of the nathan's clever admin panel. I would do it myself if i had the time, but my studies and and other projects takes too much time.
All friends of this site, let's get this thread bumped until we get some help for nathan
Firstly.. i'm sorry. Be well.
Secondly, I have some connections.. I can't promise anything but i might be able to get some advertisments going.. we'll see how it goes.
Also, if manage to get some time off .. sometime.. I'll create flash banners and put them up.
COUNT ME IN.
Thank you allevant
And nir36 thanks again, that would be mucho appreciated! very generous
I'm willing to help...
But I'm not sure if I got any use thou as I got no tech experiences or running a website.
My best experience is being a gaming forum moderator and basic computer/pda knowledge.
But, if you think I'm a good canadiate please let me know as I would like to help in anyways.
You don't really need experience in running a site. As long as you can spend some time on the admin panel to add content, it's all good.
I've added you to the to-be team , hope you don't mind.
Thanks! future for the site is looking brighter this is just a bump post
I'll bump your bump
Dear Napbree,
I am an Application Consultant and actually my job consists of making corporate websites for government entities.
Websites I've done include (not exhaustive list)
http://www.infocommsingapore.sg/industry/
and
http://www.infocommsingapore.sg/games
Same domain but totally different things.
So do count me in if you need help running the website.
I am certified in JAVA (Have Sun Certified Java Programmer and Developer certs) and am proficient in both JSP and Applications.
Currently I am writing CMS based websites using PHP, CSS, HTML and Javascript.
I can definitely write some code to add more cool functionality to your website
I'll bumb your bumbing my bumb
Hi Kenshino,
Application consultant heh, nice!
At the moment, I will be able to code up new sections for the site, for example, the new update that will come sooner or later (when I have time to finish it), has live submission, which means users can instantly add applications, as long as it applies with a few of my automated checks.
But if you have any ideas, and you want to code them up, you can definately! But I wouldn't be able to give source code, but you can code it seperately and then I can incoroporate it nicely
Thank you lots for your interest
Nathan
Hey, I volunteer too. I am a PC administrator and had had success in hosting my own sites in the past as well as prior administration duties to games like http://www.swcombine.com
Sounds great
Added you to the list, I will contact you all in the future, once I have a nice big list of contributors
Thanks
let's keep this on top.
I've been accepted into the beta test for Wave, I have 3 invites left over. If you're interested, send me a PM and I'll determine if you're worthy.
Me, pm sent
pm sent
I'd like one. pm sent

I've got a bunch leftover as well. PM me. (and then help me get Zenulators 1.6 build working on my Vogue haha...)
Right, I'm out of invites now... those who got them, welcome to the fun. Those who didn't, be patient, I'm sure we'll all get more soon

I've started an Android "brain trust" wave so far... trying to get all the pertinent info we have her eon the forums onto another medium. Seems to be working so far. Do a search for Android braintrust, let me know what you find. Also if you could PM me your google wave address, I'll add you to my contacts and then to the Wave.
hello
I have a couple of friends who have received the google wave as well yet they haven't received extra invites to pass out, so I would be so appreciative if some one was to send me one, I would be glad to pm my gmail addy to whoever could send one, no worries either way, thank you.
Currently I use google docs with people in my company to manage documents and stuff. Once Wave gets developed and opened more I feel like we will probably move some of our stuff to that for collaboration.
hey if anyone gets more of the invites let me know, i have been itching to try it out i'll pm you my Gmail address
Unfortunately I have no invites to give out yet, but I'll keep XDA in mind. Here's a secret, a ton are being given away in the Wave subReddit.
Google Wave is slow, but usable in Android browser, even at 320x240. Has anyone else experimented with this?
Hey,
I was wondering if anybody had any Wave invites left, I know polyrythmic ran out but if anybody else could lend me a hand, that would be awesome.
i just got on wave i will let you know if i get any

I threw it on virtualbox. It's okay and a pretty neat concept for the older generation. It's kind of refreshing to see a Linux platform that's not the typical GDE or KDE interface and simplifies things. For me, I would never use it on a day to day basis but I can see where google was going. If anything, Ubuntu is still the main Linux platform opposed to Windows or Macs for everyday users.
the only thing i wished is that they didnt demand SSD, think of all the legacy equipment that cant run a newer operating system and is just planning on being thrown out, esp since they cant support alot of newer software.
things like that i hope the open source community would help in porting with, it will extend the life out of alot of computers
tallnerd pm me your email address
I am a Technology Consultant by profession and I am fascinated by Android. I have some creative Android App ideas but I am not so good at java so unable to make things work by myself.
That's why I am looking for a developer (Preferably from India) who can help me out with this thing. I cannot pay anything but just looking for someone who has the potential to develop Apps but still did not get any attention.
Why should you help me for free?
1. App's developer section will have your name with me.
2. I guarantee that the App idea I have will be a hit.
3. There is no such application still in the Android Market.
4. You have got nothing to lose.
So if you have the zeal for developing android app and want to be famous (Yes, I believe my app idea is that good), Please leave a comment and we can then discuss things.
Thanks for reading!
okay, I'll bite, but I only develop for android in my spare time.
im in....just PM me or email [email protected]
sure ill help
RE
[email protected]
thanks!
Thanks for replying guys, I'll contact you by this weekend and discuss the details.
You guarantee your app will take off even though you can't spell correctly. I hope you're right.
Lol, kidding. Good luck.
I have an app idea for the healthcare industry so as you know what that industry has been like for many years you will know anything that can help healthcare and put money in workers' pockets is going to be a winner.
it will also save care homes and the NHS a small fortune.
parliament met me and nearly fell off their chairs they couldn't believe what a great idea it was.
but with a lack of funds its getting it made.
if someone could make it without money upfront I would happily go 50-50 on it.
and i cannot guarantee fame if it took off it would be innevitable.
Hey what's up everyone
I'm not new to android but I am fairly new to developing applications.
I am looking for a dedicated person to work with me in my area.
I was doing really well and making a couple thousand a month but then ran into some copyright issues. I now am only making a couple hundred a month from my apps. I have an office in Garden Grove with plenty of room for another individual or even 2. My rent is $500 a month and I really need someone to split that with.
My other partners all bailed because they didn't believe in android. They would work with me a couple of months and they leave because it was too much for them to learn. I have a lot of great ideas and would love to share them with someone that can really help me and want's to move forward.
So if you are serious about android and love android like I do then please contact me and we can discuss this further.
420 Friendly is a plus. This is California after all
Right now I pretty much root phones for a living. Thank you to everyone here at XDA for all of the great information and hard work. Without XDA I would have nothing right now.
