[phpesp-dev] Request for Developers

[Kurt M. <ku...@mc...>]

Hello All,
I have sent this out here, for I feel this would be the logical place to =
find developers already familiar with
phpESP, to use this excellent program as a stepping stone for our =
development efforts. My apologies
if its felt that this is not the appropriate list to do this. PhpESP has =
most of what we need, or is in the
process of developing it. But our needs are pretty specific. To be =
exact, we need:

respondent groups - similar to the private survey, but we need the =
ability to add a list of individuals who are authorized
to respond to an individuals survey, and allow the individual themselves =
to be added to others. - i.e., groups within the current
groups. each respondent group would have a different password, and the =
respondent should be able to choose their name
from a dropdown list or similar feature when logging in.  All respondent =
groups would be tied under one primary group, with
the ability to have multiple primary groups corresponding to different =
companies, branches, etc.

We would also require an easier means to customize the look of the =
program or modify it to suit the main site.  The CSS
method for individual surveys available now works just fine, just want =
the overall admin interface changed to match our needs.
Our current host is using Plesk PSA 5.0, so any modifications would have =
to be compatible with that automated server
administration program. =20

If the individual being surveyed wants to see the results of thier =
survey, data should be displayed as "self" & "others" with appropriate
graphics (I know this is in development to add spider charts, etc, and =
that's what we need)  or display a summary report of the entire
group with all respondent groups aggregated data.  Eventually, we would =
like the survey results to be generated into a PDF file and
either displayed online or e-mailed to the surveyee.  The graphing =
portion needs to have the ability to group questions from an individual
survey for compilation into the various graphs.  Basically, my =
assumption would be to do this, there would have to be two data =
collection
tables, a temp and the aggregate data table for the entire group.  An =
individual would be able to retrieve their own data until a certain =
date,
at that time the respondent group tables are cleared and all data is =
collectively added to the primary group data for generating a
comprehensive report of the entire group. Whatever way there might be to =
make both the entire group and the individual respondent
groups data available for graphing, that's what we would like.

As you may be able to see by now, we're trying to develop an online 360 =
performance appraisal/feedback system.
We are searching for a developer who can modify the existing phpESP =
program to incorporate our needs above.
The manual methods we currently use are too labor intensive, but the ASP =
solutions that offer the capabilities we need
are prohibitively expensive considering the core functionality is here =
within phpESP.   We are looking for developer/s
who are willing to take on this project, an estimate of costs and a =
representative sampling of similar work.
We're not looking for "Script Kiddies", we need a seasoned developer who =
can work under and be paid
through legitimate timelines and project milestones, and can output =
quality documented work. We felt we would
send this out to the developer base of phpESP before we solicited bids =
through other freelance programmer venues.

I appreciate all your developers time, and look forward to corresponding =
with someone who
feels they can tackle our project for us.
