    Hey just wondering what CA offers to people that aren't the best programmers in the world? I think we need to find something that attracts people a lot younger than our average age. Its just a thought but i couldn't think of anything that CA offers to youths who aren't the gurus we elders are?

      Guys im only 19 so not sure if im considered a "youth", but what brought me here in the first place is the library that used to be here, id read something in the files here or on OSI, some small snippet of code, and rush off and try and duplicate it, change it and produce better on my own, i think what needs to be done is training. Focus on teaching rather than asking "I need an expert in PERL" a new user never gets in that way so sits on the sidelines dwindling until it can find something to include itself.

      Maybe someone should look into the more basic user with the interest in programming/technology/privacy/security and reach out to them, bring them into the fold.

      What on earth is one of those??? Lol

      I have been a member many years and have no programming skills.. The sense of community, CAIRC, the challenges and all the other things CyberArmy offer have kept me here. I've also learnt a wide range of things for a wider range of people over the years.

      I don't think I will be revealing anything here but things within CA are changing and I believe this is one of the most exciting times to be part of this great community. I believe now and going forward we have a lot to offer the youths of today.
