It made me realize that passionate people are focused people. If you are not passionate about what you do, and have little immediate gain things won't get done. Now I see that the most passionate people I can find for this project are right here on this forum!

So as I prepare for my move to Dallas in the next couple of months I want to put a CALL TO ACTION out here to all my Z enthusiasts who may be software developers or UI/UX designers. If you would be interested in making this a reality in your Z please PM me and we can discuss things in more detail! It would be great if you were in the DFW area so that we could sit down face to face once in a while, but not a requirement.

In the meantime, thank you all for your support and I look forward to hearing from you!

What he is saying is that this costs in 10s of thousands to develop, so the only way it will happen if we spend our free time helping out, i'm a developer but i'm busy till Jan, look at what happened to braniac, they had exposure across different communities and it still failed.

You are absolutely right Scope22, the front money and time to make something like this happen is outrageous. I am speaking with other designers and developers as we speak to honestly see if this is even a viable option due to the costs. I have even spoken with one of the founders of Brainiac to see what their pitfalls were and to get a little advice on how to move forward to make this happen for us. Those guys are great people and have nearly 20 years of real industry experience (something I don't have), connections on hardware, and it boiled down to funding for them. If anyone here has advice or a desire to help bring this thing to life post here and let the community know or you can even PM me directly for more information. It's always great to hear from the community.

Have you thought about doing a jump start program to help with the cost?

Do mean like a Kickstarter page? I have considered it but to make something like that successful there would need to be far more progress on the programming side to and closer to completion. The guys at brainiac had a working prototype and still only raised about $16,500 of their $325,000 goal. So to be successful there I feel more progress is needed. It's kind of a catch 22, progress is difficult without money, and without money progress is difficult.
