[socal-piggies] Project collaboration proposal

[Andrew Kou]

Hi everyone,

I wouldn't mind working on a project like that. I believe Hurl was actually
a Rails Rumble project (48 coding session/competition). Also, I think one of
the creators, Leah Culver also codes in Python and wrote a oAuth
library<http://oauth.googlecode.com/svn/code/python/oauth/>in Python.
(Just some random information I happen to know)

Anyhow, I am in if you guys decide on going forward with it. One issue I'd
like to bring up is that this seems to me to be a relatively short term
project but who knows, maybe that's how we should go about doing projects to
keep things interesting.
