I need a person to develop a ZOPE based classifed system. Standard features for a classified program. User must be able to enter ad and pick a location for the ad to post to. These areas must be defined by the administrator. Ads should expire and remove themselves in a set amount of time. Application should interface with paypal and a major credit card clearing house.After payment add should be queued for instant publication after OK by web administrator. Publication should be made to specific listing area selected after approval by the administrator.Output format style can be discussed for web this is not important as I can do this part. However the ad data is stored I would like to make sure that at a later data an filter can be written to take the ads and produce a PDF document with ease. Thus XML may be nice to use.Web administrator should have easy method of removing ads also.
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.
