TinyTM - How to participate?

The TinyTM project needs your help. Building a solid, reliable and powerful application requires a lot of resources. Here is how you could help:

Developers

• Let us know about your existence!
  Please create a SourceForge account, go to the SourceForge Developer forum and post a short message including your name, affiliation, skills (VBA, Web development, SQL, ...) and the number of hours per week that you are willing to dedicate to TinyTM.
   
  
• Answer Support Queries
  Once you have a certain experience with the installation and the use of TinyTM, please help newbees to go forward. So please subscribe to the mailing list and watch the forum. Also, you can use SourceForge to offer commercial support for TinyTM. Your potential customers will judge you based on the "strength of your voice" in the forum...
   
  
• Work on the Client
  The first MS-Word macro "client" is not a particular beautiful or usable piece of software. So please think about more fancy clients with improved usability, segmentation rules, or graphical improvements including "skins". We will list all working clients on the TinyTM web site including your name and link to your company (if desired).
   
  
• Work on the Server
  The first TinyTM "server" is restricted to the PostgreSQL database and not particularly fast. You could port the available code to other databases (for example mySQL and Oracle) and improve the underlying algorithms and indexing schemes. Again, we will list all working servers on the TinyTM web site including your name and link to your company (if desired).
