Here is a copy of what we have posted on Rent A Coder… You can see the post here.
If you want more details leave me a comment and I will get back with you….
========
We want to automate several of our routine business tasks.
To accomplish this we are looking for someone to develop a workflow software program. It will serve as an interface among clients vendors (people performing the work) and admin (owner of the business).
The client logs in to the system and enters information about a project they want done. They may also upload supporting documents needed for the project.
Vendors receive notification of the project log into the system review the information and download supporting documents supplied by the client. Vendors complete the required tasks and upload the completed project.
The client is notified that their project is complete. The client logs in downloads the completed project and is a happy person.
Admin is able to monitor all aspects of the process interface with clients and vendors and control (as in turn on or off) available options and processes via the admin section.
This is a simple project and should be easily completed by a programmer with workflow software creation experience. A signed NDA will be required before the project is awarded.
Requirements Interview Answers:
To help you bid more accurately the buyer was interviewed about the requirements for this project. Below are their answers.
Project Type: What kind of work do you need done?
Software related (Includes desktop applications and internet websites)
Project Parts: What do you want the seller to do on this project?
Requirements: The seller will analyze the problem and propose a software-based solution to the problem.
Programming: The programmer will take the requirements and translate them into the language of the computer (and test it).
User installation: The installer will move the software from the place it was created (which is called the development or QC environment) to where you will use it (which is called the production environment). The installer then tests the software to make sure that the installation was done properly and completely.
Req. Doc. Type: What kind of documentation do you want for this project?
Program Type: What kind of software should the seller create (and/or install)?
An internet web-site: This software runs on a web server and users will access it using their internet browser.
Internet web-site info
Design and functionality: What does the programming of this project involve?
Design: Create the layout of the pages (or modify the layout of existing pages).
Program Functionality: Making the website “work”.
Modeling another site: Do you wish to model another site? Yes: http://www.articlez.com (but not exactly). This URL is given as a model only. Specific descriptions of what we want and need will be supplied.
Size of website: How many pages need to be created/edited in this website?
Approximately <25.
Programming Language: What programming language(s) do you want your website written in?
I don’t know what language (and need the programmer’s assistance to suggest it).
Database: Will this project include a database?
Yes it does include a database.
Details:
MySQL — version(s): 5.0.67
Browser Type(s)/Version(s): Which browser/version combinations must this website support?
IE 7.0
IE 6.0
Firefox 3.0
Server Hosting Environment: What is your server hosting environment?
I have a server at a 3rd party hosting company.
The name of the hosting company is: Host Gator
The server’s shared/dedicated status is: Shared with other people.
Component Compatibility Protection:
Sometimes a programmer may create features on the website that rely on componentswhich work fine on their own server but won’t work with your 3rd party hosting company’s server. There are many reasons for this including version incompatibility restricted permissions etc… Rent A Coder normally requires that the programmer verify in advance that your 3rd party hosting provider will support the components. If they do not then they are responsible for any incompatibilities rather than you. Do you want this protection on your project?
Yes I require the programmer to query my hosting company in advance to ensure that they support all components which the coder uses in the final solution (including supporting the anticipated version #s allowing components to run under their potentially restricted security model etc.)
Server Hosting Environment: Will the coder develop “live” on your server?
No. The programmer is responsible for creating their own development and/or qc environment.
Physical installation: Who will perform the physical installation?
I will perform the physical installation. The coder is only responsible for providing instructions and assistance regarding what I must do. I understand and agree that if the coder provides adequate instructions but I am unable to follow them then this is a valid reason for them to miss the final deadline without penalty (in arbitration).
Legal: 1) I require complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done (so that I may modify it in the future).
2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):
2a) Any website server-side deliverables must be provided with complete instructions and assistance so that the Buyer may install them in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer’s environment.
2b) All other software (including but not limited to any desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute) must include a software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request (unless specified elsewhere by the Buyer).
3) All deliverables will be considered “work made for hire” under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased.
3b) No part of the deliverable may contain any copyright restricted 3rd party components (including GPL GNU Copyleft etc.) unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the seller’s Seller Legal Agreement.
