Have you logged in to the IRC room recently, that is usually a hive of activity, well phractured is, as is some of the channels owned by the young people on this group. Don't forget IRC plays a very important role in project development as is great for fixing problems or discussing issues / problems. drop into irc.flashtek-uk.com #dclug and have a chat, and chat to the same age group you are aiming this at.
