A couple things:
1) This is a two-sided market problem. In order for a two-sided market to succeed, you need to jump-start it with either a bunch of chickens or a bunch of eggs. See http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000054.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000054.html
2) It takes time and effort for someone to package up a task such that a total novice to the project can pick it up and work on it.
- onecooldev24 11y agoI agree with your second point, but in case of codemill, the stats are that 2000 developers have already signed up to work on tasks.
- afarrell 11y agoMeaning, that 2000 people have entered their email into a webform? How many of those have github accounts which indicate they are active? How many of those are regularly active on the site on a weekly or daily basis?
- onecooldev24 11y agoI at least check it everyday and I am confident a few hundreds do so too.
