Nice job description, should be enough to attract possible takers.
Thanks, I tried to cover everything listed in the "read first" post at the top of the forum.
You might want to additionally answer these questions (please note that I'm not planning to accept the job offer - I merely want to clarify those issues as they might be relevant for possible takers):
- What license does eFiction come with (your FAQ only say it's openSource with a link to the OSI site)?
- Would you be willing to share the bridge you're asking to be created with the community, i.e. release it under GNU GPL (so that it may be bundled with future versions of coppermine)?
eFiction is under the
GNU GPL as per the README.txt included in the script download. And yes, I would definitely be willing to share the bridge under the GNU GPL for future bundling with coppermine.
Side note: developing the bridge probably is possible respecting the coding guidelines fopr coppermine. Visual integration (Coppermine taking into account the same theme eFiction uses) will make modifications necessary in coppermine's core code, which would subsequently make a port necessary. Would you be happy with a potential taker only agreeing to build the bridge, but not look into visual integration?
Yes, I would be fine with just having the bridge built, minus the visual integration. I've already got cpmFetch working with eFiction's block system, so content from Coppermine can be displayed in eFiction; therefore visual integration is really just a matter of eye candy, not something I'm too terribly concerned about. The bridge is definitely the key item here.
Thanks for the help in clarifying my request,
