...trees!

whenever i can't find a solution to any given coding problem, what do I do...

That's a damn lie. Those commies pay you anyway regardless of whether or not you shoot anyone. What kind of a performance incentive is that?
Question: since we tend to get a generic goblins and fairies project announcement most every week, why would anyone choose to contribute to your project? What's so special about you, or your team, or your project?
