Watching the Y Combinator 2013 Startup School [1] I asked myself: who would be a /prog/rider startup company?
I'm not sure about what kind of software we would create. I'm not sure about what software development methodology we would chose. I'm not sure if we would be capable to write proposals to catch the attention of VCs...
But there is one thing that I AM sure: it would be SUCCESSFUL

lets do it guys!

I've been thinking about this for a while too. Unless... HIBT?

Anyway, if not, I think our biggest problem would be collaboration. Working on a large project with a widely-spread group of people who don't know each other is very difficult. Anyone who has spent time in the ENTERPRISE knows teleconferences are just a clusterfuck. But I have an idea: the project we should work on is solving that problem, of working with people over a wide area without ever seeing them. It's a problem a lot of people have, and we'd come up with something we could sell (if we choose to go down the commercial route). Or, we'd fail and the whole thing would fall apart. But the point is to roll the problem of collaborating up with the problem of what software to write, so that we have one less problem to deal with. And yes, I know such things have been done, but they suck and no one uses them, so we still have room to make something useful.

I have some specific ideas about this, but let me know if you're interested (anyone?) before we start wrangling about what the finished product would look like.
