I'm thinking about starting a website that will use getmarked. Mainly a platform to publish articles that can be marked and also a forum that can implement getmarked as a karma system at some point.
This is a wonderful idea. May I suggest that you only do it for the following reasons.
1. to gain experience if you plan to be a web developer
2. around a subject you feel passionate about
If 2 is not the case, and 1 is, then I propose that you come on board with GetMarked and Bitmark, there are many websites which need created, and if you are learning I will be happy to spend time with you, provide support, and mentor where I can.
I foresee that many plugins and integrations will need created, and some companies will approach GetMarked to integrate it on their blog, website, forum. Or ask for freelancers to integrate it. It could be nice to start out a career being a specialist in an upcoming technology, with full references and support from them.
There will also be a need as I have said for people to take over and 'own' GetMarked, you could be one and start that journey now.
I am sorry in advance if this is not applicable to you perhaps it is applicable to somebody reading.
I would be interested in helping out with building websites. I mostly do Python programming, but have dabbled in a lot of different languages. I built basic websites in school (as a design major), but as a self-taught programmer, I've always been concerned about making that leap to being responsible for security.
