I have been a user at eLance and Guru for a long time, and have a friend who recommends ScriptLance, so here goes...
WANTED: programmer with prior experience working with Open X or similar open source programs.
Here's the dealio:
I am wanting to use open source OpenX [login to view URL] with a few additions.
I need to develop a directory with all common categories as you might find in any online directory (real estate, finance, health, etc...) for listing all publishers in our network, and a link to their product and offerings. Publishers will need the ability to accept or reject Advertisers automatically or manually.
I need a way for Publishers (owners of products) to set their own prices for ad placement.
I need a way for Publishers and Advertisers (website owners wanting to place ads on their sites) to communicate with each other.
I need to add an additional "3rd party ad tag" (see link above) for use with javascript which is not available in openx.
bottom line is I will be using many of the same functions already available in openx with a few improvements to give the Advertiser and Publisher more control.
---------------------------
This is not a test post or some BS to get a feel for the market. I have a general idea what i expect bids to be, and will be awarding this project ASAP to the perfect candidate with the right skills at the right price.
If you can communicate in English via skype, a huge plus.
If you send canned messages to every post on scriptlance, a huge downer. :(
I'm easy to work with and the ladies say fun to be around, but that's a different story. :)
If you have the skills to make this happen, and a creative mind to take my idea bigger, I look forward to your bid.
