The network is a good idea. I've been thinking about a working model already. I'm still busy with other stuff right now, but I'll come back to it afterwards. Patrick, thanks for sharing you thoughts.

These days, I have been thinking similar matters but from users point of view. When I start using WP and developing it for CMS 4 months ago, I encountered problems from theme modification, permalinks, navigation and CSS for better presentation of my post. You (Hackadelic) have helped me to resolve a number of problems, especially the knowhow in CSS(highlight box and sliderbar) and navigation (TOB). However, some of the problems are resolved by myself but it took me f**king painful long time. I know it was a chance for me to learn and I won't get hold of the know-how without get my hands dirty. But, I wondered could I have mentor(s) or supports in case I was stuck in the future. The codex of WP offers good organized and details posts to users for most common topics, but it cannot address all my requirement and I hardly found a forum that offers effectively collaboration among users and developers. If we have to admit the fact that there are "good" and "bad" manner guys posting requests ... 1. how could the "good" guys have priority response if they donate, share his/her work done or contribute in return? 2. would you consider to lead formation of a virtual networks of the "good" guys so that they can learn and support each others 3. would it possible to have simple working model for paid mentoring services or on demand supports? Cheers Patrick Agreed. These days, I have been thinking similar matters but from users point of view.

If we have to admit the fact that there are “good” and “bad” manner guys posting requests …

1. how could the “good” guys have priority response if they donate, share his/her work done or contribute in return?

2. would you consider to lead formation of a virtual networks of the “good” guys so that they can learn and support each others

3. would it possible to have simple working model for paid mentoring services or on demand supports?

Cheers
