Hello -
I am looking for at least one (more would be great) other person who is a PHP RUNNER user, than I can delegate some of the programming tasks that need done so that our Grocery Planner Project can be up and running within the next few weeks / months. Most of the planning, database development, and mock ups have all been done! I just need the software development and website completed.
I am looking for programmers who:__
- can communicate clearly via email or phone,
- speaks and/or writes English very well
- knows PHP RUNNER inside and out,
- knows mySQL databases
- is willing to do this on a volunteer basis up front (seeing the project through to be up and running functional at a basic level and maybe beyond)
- would be extra if they have experience with Ruby On Rails or other languages that would add to the site's user friendliness, Ipod Apps, etc.
of hours is not the concern right now as much as just having someone to help. I am grateful for any help. However, the more committed, would be better, but even if someone can only offer 2 hours a week to help me tackle my biggest coding issues, that would be appreciated.
- are willing to sign a non-compete agreement before I turn over any of the codes and notes to be worked on.
You can read about the project at www.GroceryMiracle.com and at the main website www.myGroceryPlanner.com.
I have been developing this program since 2006, and there have been a number of obstacles that have made it difficult to get our Grocery Planner Project up and running.
[indent]In 2007, I originally paid a programmer thousands of our dollars to develop it for me and he ultimately did not finish it and I did not have anything working when all was said and done. (This is what led me to take classes in PHP and thankfully led me to PHP Runner.)
I had our third child in the middle of all of that,
and now (last July), my husband was in a severe accident and our entire lives were turned every which way. He is currently a quadriplegic doing rehabilitation. I am also taking care of our 3 small children and trying to generate income.[/indent]
Nonetheless, it is VERY important to me to finish this project! Not only are we completely unemployed at the time (due to the accident), but the world is finally waking up to how important our food system needs revamping (which happens to be the solution I felt the Lord led me to create starting back in 2006)! The time is now, and this needs to be up and running.
I cannot do it alone. I need help. People are out there right now that need this program to be up and running.
Currently the project is on a volunteer basis, but as the Lord provides income to work on this, it is my hope that eventually I could offer payment for services people are doing that are keeping this up and running. I will not go into debt and make these promises right now, because I do not know the future. But I can say it is my intention to allocate monies to pay contractors who are helping us as money becomes available. In the meantime, I am asking for volunteers who are excited to be part of such an awesome food revolution!
There are many things stirring in our country regarding this topic (our food system and habits).
- Food, Inc, summer 2009
- Slow Food Movement, summer 2008
- Health Food Stores gaining more popularity,
- Michelle Obama starting the "Let's Move" campaign, just last month Feb 9, 2010!
- and over the next 5 weeks, on Fridays, ABC is going to have a new program that will start a food revolution in this country.
This is just the beginning. Rather than people simply being educated about what they SHOULD be doing, I have the vision of a website that will give them practical tools they can use to do it! This is the time to get this up and running! I am convinced, people will be looking for solutions! This is what I have been working on, and this is what I need help completing.
Any programmers who feel interested and qualified, please contact me at the below information. The sooner the better!
Thank you so much for your consideration!
