How to find a team to build an opensource project?

Question

Hi!

I would love to build an osx application this summer but I don't want to make it all by myself as I want it to be really cool. Is there a way to find opensource projects (maybe a forum?) to find motivated programmers?

I have a lot of ideas for osx apps and maybe also iphone apps. I have experience, if you're interested in joining me, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Cheers,

Romain

In my experience, there are a great many more ideas than motivated programmers. By far the best way to draw people to work on a project is to start by creating something that works and is already interesting and/or useful. Once people can see your concept in action, they will be far more likely to get involved.
