That's the perfect time: everyone knows that ideas and enthusiasm are the key to a successful project. Show them early, and people will flock to you. Mind you, it's best if you show even *more* enthusiasm by telling us that you've been searching all day. Don't waste your time with a better description of what you're looking for, though. > I need help putting together some code; today preferably, my boss is > on my back.
