longterm portal project

This project is very suitable for an experienced computer science student located in an OFFSHORE location (Thailand, China, Philippines etc.). I am looking for a skilled web developer that can work with me on a larger portal project (sports/travel). This is specifically for an individual, if you represent a outsourcing company, please do not bid/reply. You should already have completed some successful web projects and be able to learn fast. The project will require a more or less full time commitment for the initial development (at least 100 h per month) and I would like to retain you on a part time basis (around 30-50 hours per month) for continuous feature improvements. The payment will be based on monthly effort and reflect local rates. (i.e. I expect to pay around $500-$750 in the first few months and then around $300 for ongoing feature additions, web mastering and maintenance). If the portal is successful I will pay a bonus equal to 5% of the monthly portal profits after 12 months and offer you a full time position. Some of the things that I expect you to do and develop: - installation/administration of software (like Perl modules, Web server, forum software etc.) - scripts to parse/spider/scrap web pages and RSS feeds, transform the content and integrate in the portal - online application to log data (like trips0 - online application to find people with specific skills - back end content management system to moderate content that was submitted by users - back end system to manage text ads and banners - integration with Google maps - ... BONUS: If you are also able to design websites and graphics that is a definite plus. However this is not a requirement and I will outsource the graphics aspect separate if required. This is a great project with a lot of interesting aspects, if you are at the start of your career this is a great opportunity. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
