Yes I would. Like I had mentioned earlier in some other post I am mostly a PLC programmer but I have taken C, C++ and VB classes and have done some VB programs for work (all VB6).

Welcome to the team

Dispite this am I willing to learn (always looking to learn new languages but need a reason) and am very intrested in helping.

If you've had some C++ training you should be able to work on Nova once you find your way around. I didn't know anything about C#, .Net nor web deveopment when I started Nova so it's been quite a useful learning experience. It should be the same for you (and it'll be something else you can put on your CV. Smile

Also I have never done anything with Sourceforge before so I might need some help there.

Neither had I until recently. SourceForge has some good documentation so isn't hard to use, although I still have yet to learn how to use WinCVS. If you are not familiar with version control systems you'll proably find TortoiseCVS easier to use (both are free).

Let me know and I'll email you my email address. Thanks.

Drop me an e-mail and we can talk details.

As a first step get Visual Studio Express C#, Visual Studio Express Web Developer and NUnit installed on your PC (they are all free downloads) - you don't need the CVS client just yet.

VS Express is a big download (about 500MB). I didn't download my copy but picked it up from one of the CDs that tend to come with computer magazines these days.

Then, download the latest Nova packackage from my home page and see if you can compile and run the programs. I'm sure just trying it out on a few different machines is going to reveal some problems even before we look at the code. Smile
