I am in need of a coder in Python that can finsih a project. It has been started, but due to perhaps lack of enthusiasm, I am still waiting, after 6 months, for a partially workable forum. It is a Christian freelance site where people in the design, marketing, writing, etc fields can come together and share ideas, tips and perhaps find freelance work. It is more elaborate than that, and if you are interested, please email me with examples of your work/ site, etc. I need someone immediately, as the beta was to be done in July. thanks for all your help, God Bless, onewayadv |

what do you mean by Python? |

Python is a programming language. It is an interpreted language like Basic. |

i am not interested in it personally? but is this going to be a paid gig? how far along are you in it? whats stopping you using some already open source components to make a collaboration site (like Nuke , PHPBB, Twiki etc?) ------------------ |

This is paid. The program is almost done, but I am having problems with the two tech guys. The project was to start in March, and they didnt' "get into it." until recently. I have tried to be patient, but the project was to launch in Summer 2004. That ends next week. I would need someone to pickup the job and complete it. I have given the technicians until Monday to show me a working beta version is useable for public viewing, so far, I don't think they will meet the deadline. I need this done quickly and whomever helps will receive 20% of the income made on this site for the first 5 years. so, if you are interested or able to work with Python, then please let me know. thanks |

Also, this is not exaclty a forum. So a "freebee" script just won't work. This is more like a freelance area to post projects, find jobs, talk, etc. And at this point there isn't a cost to join, but later there will be. Now, if you know of a script you can modify, be very secure, will be easily expandable without complete rewrites then let me know. This project and script needs to accomodate the changing browsers, OS systems, etc. I don't want canned stuff - I really want to purchase myown script. thanks again |

even if i wanted to i don't have the time.. but i sitll wouldn't choose to without knowing the company, the business strategy, budgets etc, and the likelyhood that 20% of 5 years would be significantly more than nothing. ------------------ |

I am perplexed. Not only is this a "Paid Gig" [in the thousands], I was wanting to give a percentage of the proceeds to whomever helps. And as far as knowing what it is for - no one asked. I am a Christian Advertising Agency with over 25 years experience. I wanted to provide a forum to not only give free help to those who needed it, but also provide an area where other Christians can get together and perhaps pickup more work, share ideas, find a job, etc. I wanted this to be an on approved basis membership, but did not want to charge per "bidding" rpocess. In fact, there isn't going to be a biggin process. I guess I am wondering why it is so difficult to find ANYONE who can finish this script. I may have to resort to finding and purchasing a script from another csource. I really wanted to provide work to a Christian, let them display their talents throgh this venture and perhaps even pickup mroe work. Sorry to have confused so many, and recieved no takers. Thanks for your time |

i wasn't meaning to sound like i was critizing, just asking question, even if it was for $100,000 dollars i personally wouldn't have the time for it (not that my python skills are noteworthy anyhow).. but if this was like a contract like on a freelance site, i'd have expected alot of details (which you have supplied some since then), in the first initial explaination (for a commercial gig), so i was just throwing out questions to satisfy my curiousity and to give other 'passive' viewer of this thread infomation if they choose they would be interested.. so here's another question: as for your project, it sounds like a good project with a good purpose. ------------------ |

I only code in Python these days, well and C-Script for the game we're making. I probably won't have time, it depends on how big the job is. --D-SIPL ------------------ |

Sounds interesting, I love Python... but life is very hectic right now :-( We are expecting our second child anytime now. However, I might know someone who can help.. although I'd expect he'd want more info. Do you have any design docs, or requirements? How quickly do you need stuff, since this has been pushed back so much past the summer? (e.g. the real question, is what timeframe for someone starting from scratch?) ------------------ |

Thank you for all your replys. I was able to complete my project and used a code I much prefer - php. So, to all those interested, the site is open. www.freelancegroups.com. And signup is free Through October 4th. Let me know what you think of it! thanks again, onewayadv |

Glad to see you got it done. Had I known PHP was an option, I would have volunteered sooner (I do all my web sites in PHP). You might want to proofread the front page, though (I found several mistakes already). ------------------ |

The script was done by another programmer, so the decision to change to PHP was easy. We worked quickly, and as you can see, up in a month. I really thought my only avenue to complete this was to have someone finish the project my hired programmer had started back in March , and that was in Python. I was just blessed to stumbled across a person that convinced me his was the script to use. I tested it for about a week, made my "demands" to see how quickly he worked, and how compatible we were, and viola - the site is up. I knew nothing about Python, but believe my programmer was giving me the best product I wanted for this venue. However, after more research, I think I will stick to PHP on future projects. Also, I will take a lot more time in developing my requests - I apologize for my "panic" previously. I learned to "let go and let God" - thanks sfp |
