Hi everyone,

When we first came up with the idea for "inside.wikia" 
(http://inside.wikia.com) one of the things I thought would be most 
interesting about it would be a developer's area where the more 
technically-minded among the community could get together to discuss and 
work on small technical projects. From the various discussions that have 
been happening on the wikia-l list, I know there is the desire and I 
also know there are enough people who have the technical chops that this 
could be pretty interesting.

So I'm pleased to say we're now ready to open the doors on the next 
phase of inside.wikia. I've created a "Developer's Corner" forum at 
inside.wikia (here: http://inside.wikia.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=9 ) 
where we can start to have these discussions.

I'm also pleased to introduce two people from the community who have 
volunteered to coordinate this effort for us. Jonathan Huang - founder 
of Uncyclopedia and Jamie Hari - founder of the Marvel Database and DC 
Database. They'll be in charge of coordinating any volunteers with 
suitable projects, help identify projects that will benefit everyone, 
and generally be available as mentors for the people who want to try 
their hand at creating cool new things. :)

We have some ideas from within Wikia and you have already started 
populating the "Feature Discussion" 
(http://inside.wikia.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=4) and "Wishlist" 
(http://inside.wikia.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=5) areas of the forum. 
We'll be setting up a server that people can use to start working on 
things and generally trying to be available and helpful.

Thanks to everyone and please welcome Jonathan and Jamie !! They'll be 
posting a list of projects and taking input for ideas shortly on the 
forum here: http://inside.wikia.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=9


Thanks,
John Q.
