Dear Mailman Developers,
I am looking to put together a team for Kwotidian.com, a
startup which will create and distribute bilingual language
development email. Kwotidian will use Mailman and we need 1-3
persons to handle the technical side.
The idea for Kwotidian began with a company named Wordburger in
- Wordburger sent out bite-size, witty, bilingual language
lessons. Subscribers learned a few useful English words each
day. Wordburger grew rapidly to 140,000 subscribers who wanted
to learn or improve their English, 95% of whom were in non-English
speaking countries. Our most successful edition was the
Chinese, with 55,000 subscribers. We shut down in 2001 because
our primary revenue model at that time was advertising and the
reputation of internet advertising had gone down the drain. Now
we intend to try again. The goal is not to have hundreds of
thousands of subscribers - it is to have millions of subscribers.
Kwotidian.com needs a small team whose essential ingredient is
enthusiasm and energy. Mailman and html experience would be
good and experience with international character set encodings would
be desirable but not essential.
Kwotidian is not yet operational but the basic idea and a
sample Kwotidian daily message can be seen at kwotidian.com.
Please get in touch with me if you are interested. I will be
glad to provide more details.
