Thanks again to everyone who expressed interest and turned in solutions to the problem.
I’ve chosen the first two participants in my ‘program’, @ryanerwin and @Ellibereth.
We’ll be learning about Rails, Ember and Discourse while working away on various items on my plugin to do lists for the next 4 months.
I’ll be putting out another call in around 4 months time, i.e. the middle of August, so if you’re interested in the next round, study up on the basics till then.
