We don't have any paid staff, obviously, so I guess the question is how much can we grow and stay all-volunteer? When does the workload become too great for people to handle at work/in their free time?
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

From an organizational standpoint, our big weakness is that we're dependent on ita. Should she take a world tour with some buff brilliant krav kickboxing coder stud, we'd be left hanging. The answer, of course, is for force John and Gud to learn PHP more faster. Well, Typo Boy knows PHP too, so that's a plus.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
We have a lot of people here who either know some PHP, or could pick it up right quick.
Isn't Jon B one of the code warriors as well?

I think we have PHP interns in Shrift and Amych (?) as well.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Jon B is another code guy. And I know that both Shrift and I are learning PHP now. And that's just people who have spoken up lately. We'll have it covered if we need it.

Okay, we're all set. Should Chow Yun Fat propose to ita tomorrow, we'd have no problems.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, Chow better not hurry, since the only solid offer of up to speed PHP/MySQL assistance I've had has been from Burrell's DH. There's been intern discussion, and Gud's volunteered to help as his schedule allows.
But we've by no means got anything solid in place.

I would also be willing to intern, though my coding background is so Redmond-based it's not funny.

Ha! See, I was right. Though I do think Gar has volunteered to help too.
