Idea: Build Opensocial Resource Scheduling Application for Ning.
Why: Ning is very popular. Ning sites are all about members, events, activities, etc. EOK could definitely use a module like this to help schedule volunteer resources to fill slots for events and activities. A little poking around in the Ning forums shows many others are looking for similar solutions.
Plan: Develop application, test it on EOK, sell it, make money.
That sounds like a really interesting idea! What stage are you at in development? I actually have a website, www.firedupnetwork.com, with a whole section devoted to helping entrepreneurs advancing their ideas. Feel free to post your scheduling application idea in the entrepreneurship discussion board to gain feedback from the members on the site, and once you have launched, you can definitely add it to our "Post You Launch" thread to gain exposure. I would also recommend taking a look at our entrepreneurship and fundraising resources to help you get your business started. Best of luck, and please let me know if you have any questions.
Can I get help for my business?: Yes. We have a team of successful entrepreneurs who can mentor you and help you start up a business, or help you make more money with your current business.
