Last month's HMO (Help Me Out) thread[0] was well received. Many said they'd like to see a thread like this every month. So here's the May edition of HMO: Help Me Out.[1]

Need help with something? Write "HMO" followed by details.

Willing to help others? Write "Let Me Know" followed by your areas of interest.

Let me know if you want a mock tech interview.

I am a software dev/mgr, now consultant. I advise companies on tech recruiting practices. I will give you a mock tech screen and give you feedback. This isn't for any job -- but, if you are interested in the North East US tech market, I might be able to make a connection.

Help develop an open source educational web app.

http://www.quill.org

Quill is a free web application that provides interactive English grammar lessons. We have built 30 hours of lessons (http://www.quill.org/lessons), and we currently have 5,000 students using our site. We are a nonprofit organization, funded through the Gates Foundation.

The site is built in Ruby on Rails.

All of our outstanding issues are at: https://github.com/empirical-org/Compass/issues?state=open

There are a variety of issues, from small bug fixes to major features. If you're interested in the project, please reach out to me at peter@quill.org.

Let Me Know:

I will criticize your startup idea (to get you to see it from a different point of view), review a summarized bplan, guide you with possible marketing strategies, explain to you what identifying and understanding your target market means, bounce ideas and talk if you have nobody to talk to.

Contact me via the thread.

Let me know if you need help with any development or architecture design ( I prefer RoR but can help with any other platform also )
