You could try the RailsInstaller ( http://www.railsinstaller.org/en ) project from Luis Lavena. I went from essentially zero webdev experience to completing Michael Hartl's Rails Tutorial to building modest production ap

No mention of Madeleine L'Engle's "A Wrinkle in Time"?

I'm gone the 28th-30th, unfortunately, so I'd vote for anything before or after that (January 3rd would be ideal.) Either way, though, welcome to Chicago, Patrick!

We're looking for short-term remote Rails help implementing faceted search using solr/lucene or websolr.

Though several startups are addressing this area, I like the timeline approach taken by Eternos ( http://beta.eternos.com ) [Disclaimer: I've blogged enthusiastically about them in the past and we've discussed a possible advisory role.]

At Molex, we've been pitched recently by Invention Machine to adopt their SAAS service "Goldfire". They claim that Goldfire makes it easier for companies to incorporate TRIZ principles in their new product development processes. So far, mos

Genlighten is looking for a Front-end UI/UX Designer / Rails Developer. Details are at http://bit.ly/dshmNY . Preferred location would be Chicago or Logan, Utah, but remote may also work. Thanks!

My wife and I have been co-founders of our nights/weekends startup from day one. She runs customer support (phone and e-mail) and is the prototype "seller" in our online marketplace. I handle product development, marketing, finances and som

Yeah, I've checked the posterous video for new views (alas, none so far). But mostly I'm working on improving the existing app, dealing with a recent influx of users, and filling out applications to other programs with later deadlines.

I'm looking for a part-time front-end UI/design person with RoR skills to help out our bootstrapped nights/weekends genealogy startup. I could meet your income needs (paying by the task) and still leave you time for the other suggestions yo

Trying to get the video done for our YC app. We're seriously bad at saying anything cool or interesting on camera... all we can do so far is laugh at each other. :)

I've signed up for postling, which offers some similar features, but it hasn't really "wowed" me yet. Your service sounds a little more ambitious in some ways... and it hits a particular pain point of mine (managing Facebook pages). I fille

We currently use Constant Contact for newsletters and email campaigns. It's served us well so far, but I could be easily convinced to ditch it -- the email templates, editing features, and analytics are decent, but hardly inspired or deligh

Just thought I'd add +1 for Intense Debate. We've used it on our site's blog for a little over a year and we're quite satisfied.

+1 for sendgrid. We've been using them for several months now with highly satisfactory results.

I'd advocate taking a longer-range view-- both of the design of your site and your relationship with a designer. If you're at all successful, there'll be lots more design work to do. So why not use this small initial project as way to get t

I first came across Justin when he blogged from the FamilySearch development conference back in March of 2008. My wife and I had been looking for months for a technical co-founder with a strong interest in family history. Justin's blog post

Isn't Aardvark ( http://vark.com ) tackling this idea, without limiting the sources of the answers/tasks to twitter?

We've been using Pivotal Tracker for about a year on our nights-and-weekends genealogy research webapp. It's intuitive -- even fun -- to use, costs nothing, and takes almost no time to administer. For user-sourced feature requests, bugs, an

We use Onebox as well. Simple to manage, forwards to our cell phones when we're not home. But it's not like we're getting lots of calls yet, so I can't speak to how it scales.

We're using Solo on EngineYard (i.e., their AWS-based offering.) Quite happy with it so far. Thinking about moving to Flex eventually.

We're the platform provider in a two-sided genealogy market (genealogy document clients on one side, genealogy lookup providers on the other.) We take a commission from providers (15% of their selling price) and a processing charge from cli

Good for Twitter, not so good for the Chicago tech/startup scene. Dick was an inspiration to many local entrepreneurs, and the Feedburner exit is often cited as evidence that "it can be done here."
