Looking for someone to create/modify software for this forum [5500+ BTC]

[Bungeebones]

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

[keverw]

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

[live627]

I would hope that's part of the deal

[film2240]

@ 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

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.

What's the update on this ? 

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

Writing this feature made me hate SMF even more.

It supports PHP 4.

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

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?

No, it wasn't just you. I even looked at the username/avatar and post count two more times to be sure it wasn't just an automated spam reply lol

This is a serious offer, glari.ch is able to deploy Redmine for bitcointalk: you can see the example for a Redmine instance on glari.ch or Redmine.

Redmine Project
Redmine Collaboration and Document Management

Since this is not just a small task, project donators are welcome to acquire shares and show this way there agreement and support to build a Redmine based port 3000 for bitcointalk. When the project reaches more then 30k public hold GMP shares; we start to deploy Redmine.

[OhShei8e]

I don't care whether you build the software from scratch or just create a bunch of modifications for some already-existing software. There are benefits and drawbacks to both methods which will be considered in relation to the rest of your bid.

Whats wrong with email? I would like to see normal lists. Because of less traffic Mailman would be a good choice. Very easy to set up also. Forums are for little people. It is stupid to have to use something like that. Very susceptible for XSS and other attacks. When I came here I was wondering if you really know what you are doing. Sorry if I have to say it so plainly. I'm surprised that nothing has happened yet.

I would prefer simple mailing lists. So I can read new messages and be simultaneously logged into Mt Gox. On the same machine, at the same time with the same account. Add to this a sensible archiving software and you have a professional environment. Animated smilies are nice but perhaps not misson critical. Also I do not need a profile and stuff like this. Why bother?

For Donation and FAQ there can be a normal site. Keep it simple stupid. Just my two cents.

why the guys have to pay for a service at bettermeans.com when they could have the same tools on bitcointalk avalable for free?

Quote:
BetterMeans is simply a fork of the Redmine issue tracker, integrated with a governance system and a rewards system. Except for those integrations, BetterMeans is NOT a new kind of project management tool that allows one to manage projects in a different way than Redmine.
Compared to Redmine, BetterMeans imposes a specific workflow (by contrast, Redmine is extremely customizable) and removes some of Redmine's advanced features, such as advanced searches. In exchange, it provides a different UI.

Not to discourage you or anything, but the development actually uses GitHub's issue tracker. The thread you linked is for the testing project.
