Don't you dare try and pass the blame onto people not volunteering. If it's anything like the experience when I've tried to offer help then I'm surprised that anyone does.

Back in August last year I replied to this post by Kal offering to help. I sent an offer of help by forum PM, I never got a reply. Thinking that maybe it got lost I contacted him on IRC just to make sure. Did I ever receive a reply? Never. I didn't receive a reply saying either yes or no? Never. Did he bother forwarding any interest to the person who was to become the portal manager? No.

I offered myself for the recent developer position as well. I did actually get some replies from Appocomaster for this up to a certain point. After not receiving a yes or a no for 2 weeks I had to ask about the status of things. Apparently they're using an existing person who was already under NDA from before. Why bother to advertise externally when you should've advertised internally first?

Looks like I'm not the only one though. Mit puts in a bid to develop the portal and doesn't get any reply. Chef was contacted about running the portal and never got a further reply. Are you seriously claiming that requests don't get ignored?
