7 | | -code52 started with a simple idea: |
8 | | - |
9 | | -##"A new coding project every week" |
10 | | - |
11 | | -We want to **build fun stuff** in our spare time, **give back** to projects which need support, and **create a community** which is inclusive and engaging. |
12 | | - |
13 | | -##Who's behind this idea? |
14 | | - |
15 | | -We are (in alphabetical order) [Andrew Tobin](http://twitter.com/tobin), [Brendan Forster](http://twitter.com/shiftkey) and [Paul Jenkins](http://twitter.com/aeoth). |
16 | | - |
17 | | -Particular goals we want to achieve: |
18 | | - |
19 | | - - introduce developers to open-source projects and help them learn the ropes. |
20 | | - - contribute to projects across a range of technologies. |
21 | | - - let the community determine where to focus efforts (?). |
22 | | - |
23 | | -##Why a week? |
24 | | - |
25 | | -We're still nailing down the details at the moment, but in particular: |
26 | | - |
27 | | - - shorter timelines encourage achievable goals. |
28 | | - - shorter timelines reduce the incentive to procrastinate. |
29 | | - - more variety of projects to work on over a period of time. |
30 | | - |
31 | | -##How can I find out more? |

33 | | -You can nominate and vote for projects on our [Uservoice](http://code52.uservoice.com) site. |
