[Phpwebsite-developers] Paying Work: PhotoAlbum modification

[Shaun M. <sh...@ae...>]

Hi all

I've got a long term community project on at the moment which is  
growing in scope daily and needs some extra developers. As and when  
the features mature enough in our requirements I hope I can pass on  
the dev work to the relevant module developers and for them to  
possibly get some payback for their time if they are available.

The project is a community of creative industry pros, freelancers and  
artists here in this part of West Yorkshire, UK. It's part government  
funded which means there's 'some' money about but we're trying not to  
use it all up straight away so we can keep the project running for as  
long as possible. The server is paid for, for a year for instance but  
marketing probably will last till December.

Hopefully once it's running I can attract some more funding either  
via members or the various arts and media funding bodies which can  
continue development funding. Where I am in the post-industrial north  
of England, they like funding things like this to regenerate local  
industry although I just missed out on one round last week.

We're also implementing this as branches so once we've rolled it out  
to the creative industry, we hope to add branches for other parts of  
the local community such as rural development, a youth/kids branch,  
business assoc or whatever.

Anyway,

The first thing on the list is for each user to have their own  
personal photoalbum that they can upload their own work into. That  
way we can create a portfolio of every artist, sculptor, designer or  
whatever and the world can view their photoalbums yet each user can  
manage their own individual album.

Unfortunately, Darren, photoAlbum's developer, is doing the 'working  
too hard with multiple jobs and school' lifestyle thing just now so  
has declined the offer, so if anyone else fancies it, drop me an  
email or catch me on #phpwebsite

The site is going live at the beginning of October so it's being  
based on the 0.10.x codebase as fallout will be a little fresh for us  
by then unfortunately.

Any work must be passed back to the phpWebSite community and be  
completely open source. AppState will have the right to include it in  
the main codebase, or not as they wish. You wouldn't believe how long  
I spent arguing with the local gov legal dept that code had to be  
given away. ;-)
