considering I've opening a topic to find contributors on my project and no one has signed up,

I would disagree with this. Because no-one signed up for the project doesn't mean all programmers here are all talk. Yeah,  I know a few just come here to talk but it has nothing to do with your project. DHML is a PHP champion, that I know but he obviously isin't interested and thats why he didn't sign up. I personally HATE PHP(doesn't mean I can't comfortable write it), I use Ruby on Rails(fan of neat code). However, I only watched your project because I wouldn't mind testing your product as an end-user or issue feature requests.

I can tell you something for sure tho, open source doesn't work that way. You just have to assume you are going to be alone on it but when you finally roll out something that interest developers, you would get tired of contributors.

, months ago. Trust me when I saw they way they deployed, lol I realised that all I have been doing in PHP was SMALL.

1. The cost of doing business is much less for you than for someone in Naija. It might not be much for you to buy a virtual server or dedicated server, but for someone in Naija, it does add up.

2. It's also true that one can also set up a RoR or Django on their personal computer if they decide to run Linux,

3. PHP was once ugly, but I don't feel it's ugly anymore, MVC is still very much alive, there are beautiful PHP applications out there. Can you say Facebook? Not to mention the countless CMS, and libraries out there.

[font=Courier][size=10pt]@delomos c'mmon man, use a third party instead of trying to setup your own server. A VPS would do except if you are interested in system admin, then goodluck.

Fayimora:

Do you happen to remember what thread eyowo was torn apart on, Want to have a look at it

lojik:

If you finish your software and your primary marketing strategy is to start a thread for it on Nairaland, abeg think twice.
I've seen a lot of projects posted here and get the bashing of their life.

A critical example is eyowo.com payment platform. After it was carefully torn apart on nairaland, i decided never to go near it. Nairalanders brought out lots of flaws out of it which made me conclude the project was not properly baked.

I believe a lot of people know better than to post their projects on NL where members are very very aggressive.

Number_One:

@lojik, why are you complaining about the Eyowo thread. All the comments I saw there were honest. Security and Trust concerns? What is wrong with that? If you expect to post a new software and everyone is kissing your butt about it then you should go to the romance section.

delomos:

Yup. I'm partially a sysadmin and setting up/managing web server happens to be partly my job And if you get a VPS (which I don't see the need for if you're running a small site), since I deal with enterprise, it's a diff story, again ,

@lordZOUGA Apologies for derailing ,
