<div dir="ltr">Mark,
<div>Do you think SA would be up for doing this via a student
project using the final year web development students at Ara?
If so, we can tick the free/cheap labour box, students
(usually) available every 6 months that can continue
development if necessary (as long as the task is large enough
to be classed as a project at the time), we will still be in
business in 5 years time, open source code development, track
record with lots of companies in Christchurch ...</div>
<div>I don't supervise web projects myself but can put yourself
and SA in contact with those who do. I'm pretty sure examples
of recent development work could be made available.</div>

All,<br>
<br>
I am currently helping Science Alive with various projects;
one of them <br>
is to ease them into the whole world of web development
(mainly from a <br>
specification, and contractual viewpoint).<br>
<br>
The next-generation web project needs to be developed using
completely <br>
open-source tools (possibly wordpress); the development work
needs to be <br>
completely transparent and portable so that any competent web
designer <br>
can maintain the project as required.<br>
<br>
Part of the project will be creating documentation so that SA
staff can <br>
understand how the web site has been constructed, along with
all of the <br>
associated pieces of the web--puzzle, including all passwords
etc. SA <br>
will also own all developed IP associated with the project so
they can <br>
do with any of it as they wish. No part of the project will
use any <br>
proprietary, or licensed components without explicit
permission from SA.<br>
<br>
The developers need to be local to Christchurch, easy to work
with, have <br>
a good track record in terms of integrity, no hidden
surprises, <br>
on-price, and on-time delivery; you know - nice journeymen
professionals <br>
with a sense of humour, who can also answer web and internet
related <br>
questions, and won't charge the earth.<br>
<br>
I have has a couple of very odd exchanges with web-developers
in the <br>
past - they have got quite excited (in a bad way) after
explaining the <br>
need for open source and transparency issues. Strangely,
neither of <br>
these people got the job...<br>
<br>
Also, (clearly) neither of these requirements can be met using
the <br>
'free' tools and environment provided by WIX and the like.<br>
<br>
Still have lots of details to work out, but first step is get
SA <br>
introduced to some candidate companies who are likely to still
be in <br>
business in five years time.<br>
<br>
Recommendation appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks, Mark</blockquote>
