> In fact, the first 'problem' posted was also the first thing to be solved: a charity's website was running really slow and they needed help fixing it. That got fixed in 24 hours. That was also the first item I looked at and thought, "Oh, I could do that, it should only take a couple hours tops." Everything else requires significantly more time investment -- which narrows your field of helpers down to, "smart and helpful people who have lots of free time". Those people exist, but they're a much smaller population than, "smart and helpful people who can come up with a couple of hours for an interesting project while procrastinating on something else." I think your website copy is very strongly commitment-oriented. From https://www.solvers.io/ https://www.solvers.io/: -> "Get involved in a project below"; what about, "Solve a problem for a project" instead? -> "Got an idea? Post it and recruit solvers"; I dunno what to suggest here, but "idea" is really broad and "recruit" is a loaded term. From https://www.solvers.io/projects/new https://www.solvers.io/projects/new: -> "Project name" and "Role": I think these are definitely sending the wrong message. "Role" might by itself by the source for a lot of the confusion. You're not looking for a role to be filled -- a position -- you're looking for a specific thing to get done. (It can also cause people to ask for the wrong thing, e.g. a website developer when they need a graphic artist or something.) -> "Describe the project, including its expected duration and required skillset." I think "duration" sends the wrong message, i.e., "if you're looking for help for the next six months, that's OK, just say so". If that's what you intend, cool, otherwise, that spot might be a great time to tell project managers to keep it short for best results: "Describe your project and what kind of help it needs. Try to ask for specific tasks instead of ongoing commitments." HTH. It's a really cool site, I hope I can do a thing or two there in the future.
