Perhaps among mysociety, sunlight, cfa, open plans, etc. there are already some useful places where civic tech developers hang out in real-time and provide cross-project coding advice/tips/etc. ... if there are channels, where should I point our new developers?
If there are not cross-project IRC channels, is this a good idea? For a civic-based project that relies on tech contractors and volunteers rather than having tech folks at the core, we need places to plug-in! Thanks, Steven Clift E-Democracy.org P.S.
