Entrepreneur looking for a Programmer for long-term partnership
Required Knowledge
PHP, MySQL, Any CMS, Math
Additional Info
I am looking for a partner to develop a website that I got running without being a programmer back in 2002 on a highly sought after domain name (every time I renew the registration get a few offers) that has a history that goes back to 1998. Back then a company started a gift registry website that drew millions of dollars in funding but failed during the 2000-2001 bubble.
I bought the domain name in 2002 and developed a different concept in the basically the same area (gift giving). Even with my limited programming abilities I developed a system to recommend gifts using Coldfusion and some advanced MS-SQL. My hosting company went belly up and I had other commitments at the time, so I let the project go in a prolongated sleep which I intend to bring it back from. Every time I think about it, I think of how a good idea this is; but, like with every project, it needs a lot of effort. Not really money, but effort and commitment. I also invested on getting some excellent artwork which I still hold.
I am thinking about changing the choice of technology to PHP/mySQL + that can probably build on top of a clean CMS like drupal.
Contact me and I'll send you the site's URL, go and look at it in archive.org for its history, and you will be able to follow its evolution including my 2002 attempt. I am looking for a good programmer with high regards for ethics. Some math and statistics are a plus as the technology at the backend requires it.
I am looking to start a conversation that might end in a partnership.
