Find a co-founder at the weekend of code (8th/9th of September) (ning.com)

Since the YC application deadline is approaching and I still don't have a co-founder, I conceived the weekend of code: I propose to evaluate potential co-founders by doing a project together for a weekend.

As an experiment, I created a Ning network for it, not sure if that will work well. Alternatively, just use this thread to discuss potential projects? I shall see that an irc channel will be available during the weekend, and perhaps afterwards an opportunity for presentation and praise. Nothing to win, except new friends and experience.

I am inspired by the 48 hours game programming competition, which has always been great fun.

Nice hack. Now here's my suggestion for a 48hr code sprint a "better file upload" Why? Someone already wants it, there is a need and you have the users & here to bounce the product off.

Do you think it would be better to turn the whole thing into a competition, like "who writes the best file upload within 48 hours"?
