I'm definitely interested in keeping Octo alive, unfortunately whilst I have decades of development experience C was never my thing. I can read code and spot obvious scams though which would afford us a little protection against potentially nefarious hired help. I do also have web developers on staff who might be interested in some extra curricular work if that kind of thing figures in your plans.
Depending on the challenge they fancy taking on there could definitely be some extra curricular work for your web-designers. We'll also need a team of people to do the appropriate research, reaching out to other relevant organisations, PR etc etc. You don't necessarily need tech know how to help out :-)
