I Need A Webapp Coder
Posted in Museum Expansionism, Technology on 20. Apr, 2009
This is a call out to anyone who reads this site who’s a dab hand at creating a little webapp.
Basically, I’ve had an idea but lack any coding ability to pull it off. I could try to use some of the tools out there already, but it would look messy. Would prefer someone to do it for me and do it properly.
You know that part were I said I have no coding ability? Well, I’m also not sure what abilities someone would need. I imagine php, mysql, css and maybe something else weird and alien to me.
I don’t see this as a large project. I’ve seen more complicated facebook apps than my idea. What I can’t do is pay you. What I can do, and what expect, is something on it saying “developed by…”. I wouldn’t mind somehow releasing it under Creative Commons to solve any ownership issues.
Yes, it have something to do with museums. If it works, it’ll be a nice piece of activism.
Interested? Drop me an email at pete(at)newcurator.com and I’ll send you the details of my idea. If lots of people reply, then I’ll choose the one I like the most.
Spread the word.
You could also try a post to the MCG list, or contact local colleges/universities.
Did you find one?
Might be difficult to attract people without saying what it is first. Then and again, perhaps you’ve intrigued people (you’ve intrigued me)…
Several people answered. All but one have pulled out. Will see what the last one says then I may just put it in a blog post and kick the idea out there and see what happens.
