Flattery will get you everywhere, Marc.
I don't want to come across as tyrannical, which I'm sure is happening to some, but I know what will happen if someone doesn't take control.

What I would like to do now is open up nominations for project leaders of our 3 winning ideas.
After the leaders are picked, I will have an "assignment" for them and we will open up some more discussions on the winning projects.
Below this message are 3 messages, one for each idea, and I would like the CPP volunteers to reply to each one with their nominations for project leader. If the person nominated feels their resources can be used in a better way or if they just don't want the responsibility, then they can opt out.
Here are my recommendations for project leaders:
Defect Tracking, etc. - Anders Molin
UGLY - Tom Welch
App. Framework - Marc Clifton (no offense to jdunlap, but Marc has more experience at CP and jdunlap has only been here 3 months.)
These are only recommendations so the collective nominations will supercede my own.
Again, I ask that all new threads about CPP in this forum be started by me. If you wish to discuss a topic, please make a <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/script/profile/whos_who.asp?id=36966&df=100&forumid=5105&app=50&select=513418#xx513418xx">RFC</a>[<a target=_blank title='New Window' href="http://www.codeproject.com/script/profile/whos_who.asp?id=36966&df=100&forumid=5105&app=50&select=513418#xx513418xx">^</a>] on my profile page.

If you think someone else would do better, suggest him/her. But otherwise, Anders Molin would probably be just fine.

Roger has written alot of articles, and should be considered if he feels motivated.

Yikes! 
I do have a lot of relevent experience in the area, but I should be considered as a last resort. I do suffer from lack of time for extra-time projects outside of work, this is why my article pipeline is currently stalled (with about 5 pending/semi researched articles in it).
I also have not really had any experience running a team having been a stand-alone programmer most of my career - until the last year, where I didn't want the management role as there can be too much sh!t to take care of.
That said, if I did end up as the leader, I do have a semi-system worked out for it.

He's got my 5. I don't mind as long as I can have some input - I do have a bunch of ideas in this area, which is why I suggested it.
As always, if you don't want any messages here, let me know, but you did say nominate and discuss...

I don't really know anyone at CP's particular giftings... But what I do know is that UGLY and the Framework will not stay appart for long so presumable the leaders need to be able to work together as a pair.
Also which of you people out there have any experiance in leadership??

This is very important. Although I have good programming skills, I'm not too good at leadership. Jason Henderson seems to be a good leader, but we may need him for the general coordination and the coordination between teams. 
Maybe we could have the people with leadership experience speak up, because right now we really don't know people's backgrounds very well.

I was just reviewing the suggested users for project leaders. I have no argument against any of them, but was wondering if you knew of any relevant experience they have that would make them so suitable for the role for that project.
Marc has a goos article record in the C#/.NET area which should help towards a Application Framework project.
Tom only has the 2 articles in areas not really related to the UGLY project, although he does list many technologies which are applicable to this kind of project.
Anders - I didn't really look upm as the defect tracking is not a project I would personally want to work on - I am an UGLY man most probably
If these people or any others who get put forward as possible project leaders could give an overview of what they can bring to the role would be good to see and help in the voting.
Oh well, hope I havn't upset your thread(s) too much.

Good question, and the answer is no, I haven't done a thourough background check on any of them except Marc. The FBI told me he was trustworthy.
Seriously though, if you feel like you have more experience or would rather see someone else take the role, then by all means nominate them. I chose these guys because they either originated the idea or showed great interest.
Responding to this thread is fine. I would just rather keep discussions controlled so we can stay focused. I hope I'm not coming across as a tyrant.

Yes! I must have succeeded in deleting my case file from the FBI! Mwahahahah!
I'm more than happy (and honored!) to fill the project lead role, if that's what everyone decides on. If anyone is curious as to what else I've done, I can send them my resume. I also don't want to cram the AAL concept down anyone's throat, so if anyone is wondering, I think the idea here would be to get everyone's input an concensus on what an Application Framework should look like, etc.

P.S. My other post went to the wrong thread. I'm sure that was my fault.

Like Marc, I would be happy, and honored, if people would like me to be project lead.
If anyone is interested, just send me a mail, or reply here, then I'll send a copy of my cv.

What is happening here ? What have I missed ? I've co-incidentally been thinking about starting a defect tracking tool ( in J2EE, but that died, so I'm moving to ASP.NET ). If something is happening here I can be part of, that sounds cool.
Note: I am interested in joining in, I'm not putting myself forward to *run* something.

This is CP2 or Code Project Projects and idea that kind of caught everyone's fancy. Basically, its 3 collaborative projects with about 58 (counting you) volunteers so far. Actually, I'm sure half of those volunteers will drop out, so we'll be left with a manageble number of people across 3 projects.
Read through the messages and if you would like to add anything, post it to my personal message board here at CP.
