I remember talk of everyone trying to do the programming together. Are there specific things that only an experienced programmer can do? If so, try and find one. It's very unlikely they will just stumble upon this site. The best thing the current members can do is get everything that can be done by them done so that when one does come along they know exactly what they are needed for, which by my reckoning isn't much got the demo. Is there anything left that can be done by members on here?
Also, the poccils starter kit wiki effectively tells you how to implement every feature that were in the canon games. Since there aren't really any extra features added to Topaz, it can't be too hard for a current member to have a go.
