Ask HN: What's the best way for outsiders to get a startup team together?

I'm relatively young and of the writing, editing, and political vocations. That said, I also have a big interest in social computing. I'd love to do things for myself, but I recognize my limitations. I have a few startup ideas that I think could be very successful if handled correctly. Unfortunately, I need engineers and I don't know how to get them. As a student, it doesn't make sense to try to hire people, and I'm fine with having equal shares; I just don't know where to find people who are skilled, trustworthy, and motivated. Are there some forums or something that I'm missing out on? Are the established startup communities too hard to penetrate by people outside the industry?
