I have provided screen designs and programming specifications for a USER FRIENDLY frontend to operate existing multimedia software such as DVD player, digital photo library, mp3 library etc.The program is designed for and must be suitable for TV output. I want to use this software on a small OS (e.g. Knoppix) and run it from an old PC in the lounge an alternative to MS Media Centre if you like.I understand that all the technical coding exists in many open source applications. I also understand that this can either be done using PythonXML, GUI makers, crosscompilers (e.g. Xforms) or JavaPHPhtml web overlays.I would require a 14 day period after receiving the software for testing whereby I can then request minor alterationsdebugging if necessary.Bidders should let me know how they would propose to make the frontend given the various options outlined in the specifications.PLEASE DO NOT BID UNTIL YOU HAVE READ THE ATTACHED PROGRAMMING SPECIFICATIONS AND SCREEN DESIGNS.thanksNick Additional files submitted: 03.

Bid Smart - The lowest bidder doesn't always get chosen, far from it. Persuade your buyer why they should pick you - and they will.
Research - If John has paid more than $500 a contract for his last 10 project, why would you think he is interested in your $10 bid? Check up on the buyer, bid what he expects, and deliver quality to match.
Read - Please read the bid request - I cannot emphasise this enough - if you do not read the bid request then you will not be chosen, this is pretty much certain. Mention the bid request specifically in your application, and don't forget to repeat the key deliverables.
Innovate - Suggest features the bidder didn't mention, talk about future extensions to the project, and discuss whether you think his or her approach is a good idea. Show interest, intellect, and willing.
