Topic: Looking for someone to create/modify software for this forum [5500+ BTC] - page 16. (Read 165632 times)

Is it just me, or am I the only one who couldn't make out head nor tail of this post? What does funding 'Glari Mining Project' has got to do with modifying the forum?

You don't think custom services by geeks who go out of their way to meet the requirements of the job should be properly paid for?

3000 BTC funded to the Glari Mining Project listed at https://cryptostocks.com/securities/9?locale=en
I think this is the enviroment the bitcointalk comunity needs as a basis for future development

Environment:
  Redmine version                          2.0.3.stable
  Ruby version                             1.9.3 (x86_64-linux)
  Rails version                            3.2.6
  Environment                              production

You don't value the free software philosophy which made possible the system (Bitcoin) this community is about. Shame on you!.

I am interested in giving this a shot.

I have bitcoin project experience. Nothing published at this time but I do have over 25 years of web development experience.

I do have published works that are not bitcoin related. I can pm you my list of links if you are interested.

My skill sets besides bitcoin technologies are:

I have BOLDED the technologies that I am currently involved in.

PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES
Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, PHP, XHTML, AJAX, HTML5, CSS, WordPress, Drupal, Joomla! Platform and ASP using VBScript/C#; ActionScript, Bash, BASIC, Batch, C++, Objective-C, Perl, Python, VBScript and Visual C#

SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS
Microsoft, Visual SourceSafe, Visual Studio, Internet Explorer, Access, Excel, OneNote, Outlook, Powerpoint, Project, Visio, Word, Adobe Acrobat, Photoshop, After Effects, Bridge, Dreamweaver and Illustrator

OPERATING SYSTEMS
Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/7/Server 2008, Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and Ubuntu 11.10

I am willing to "bid" on this project as well if it's still available.
I have a 6yr+ php experience and a 5yr+ jquery/javascript experience.

All i did was freelancing and if pmed i can give you a list of websites were i have been working.

I am planning to code your project in php, but also to take advantage of the jquery jsonp (cross domain json) and my own framework.
I don't want to use any existing open source forum, and i plan to use my framework because i will code into it only what is required for the project, without any extra functions.

I could code the project and also think it's arhitecture, something designed for future use, for cluster (as you probably noticed, bitcoins will attract more and more visitors), and probably in future you will have to move to a cluster.

Planning to use a mysql cluster with a http cluster (separating the mysql from http, to ensure a minimum load on the server side).
We will take advantage of the available technology, we will code the http cluster in javascript (jquery with jsonp) so that the ressources required by your servers will be at the minimum, and no plugins will be required by the client side (browsers).

Everything you requested will be implemented and i will be using my framework with or without smarty integrated (as you wish).
Something else will be added at the security, because of the jsonp cluster a token will be created to monitor visitors.
Another key factor is that i will code a module to detect xss or sql attacks and to be tracked down to ip, banning it for a limited time if detected and mailing admins/dev crew.
The design will be unique, and will try to make it clean, but again, we will take advantage of technology such as canvas/css 3/jquery effects.

Because i plan to use something unique/new (jquery for the http cluster) wich will improve the costs and the ressources of the server and that i am going to take advantage of the latest technology and methods that are available (without the use of plugins, just native codes) i will have to ask abit more than it's offered, 3600 BTC.

Example of my framework implemented into a game(not fully developed): http://code.google.com/p/v2ge/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2FV2GE


Let me know if you are interested in my offer and send me a pm.

It supports PHP 4.

Writing this feature made me hate SMF even more.

Incidentally, ...

Watchlist feature has been added:

 - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/watchlist-90136


Also, 3,000 BTC .., valued just under $20K USD.

What's the update on this ? 

We'd be much better committing 2200BTC to contribute improving an existing software that to write one.

Looks great. I guess buying a forum software with a importer available is a major plus. I would be sad if the forum had to start fresh again.

@ keverw I reckon so.The admins will need a converter type tool or importer to import data into the new system.In the case of invision power boards,The converter would be this : http://www.invisionpower.com/suite/convert.php

I would hope that's part of the deal

What's gonna happen to the current forums? Will the data be imported or somthing like that?

I was over at another BTC forum and was really impressed with their forum software to the point that I scrolled down to see who made it and went to the developer's website. Then I saw your post so here it is:

https://bitcoin.org.uk/
and http://www.invisionpower.com/products/board/ is the software

Well, it's not open source for one thing. It also seems kinda over-built and old fashioned. Sort of like SMF.

any reason not to use vbulletin?

How was Vanilla found lacking? Seems like a solid piece of software to me.

I think it makes sense to tackle the problem in small increments. Start with an well crafted, easy to modify platform like Vanilla and add functionality via plugins. Pay bounties for each piece of needed functionality in the requirements gap. The overall requirements list is too overwhelming for any firm or individual to commit to.

this will never happen.

ever

I just found this topic, sorry if I'm a bit late to the show.

I do professional IT Consulting & Systems Analysis as my day job.  I also have more than a decade of professional software development experience. 
I have a resume I can send to you upon request, just PM me.

I wanted to let you know that there is already a plan to implement a forum with most of the features you are asking for.  It's a functional component of another project I'm planning (see my original post https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/proposal-for-a-safety-net-deposit-insurance-83752 for more details on that project although no mention of a forum is made there).  I plan to deliver the forum portion of the product by the first week of August and there would be no cost for bitcointalk.org to use it. 
Nothing would be expected on your part, you would also have full source code etc so that you may make your own modifications/customizations in the future.
If you decide to run with it and would like further modifications the rate is a 20BTC per hour in consulting fees for the design stage and a flat fee contract for delivery.

I am willing to do this for two reasons, first off it's being done anyways we may as well re-use it, and secondly bitcointalk provides a valuable service to the community and I want a chance to be part of that.

PM me if you are interested.
