Wish List

  • Programming Consultant
  • Translators

Thanks to SuperbHosting.net, we now have a dedicated server and are currently fundraising for the cost of a programming consultant. The consultant would provide technical advice and guidance to the team.

The consultant would provide technical advice and guidance to the team. Ideally, this person would need to have experience building PHP/MySQL websites, understand Flash and how it works with PHP, be an expert in HTML, PHP, XML-RPC, have an understanding of database access with cross-browser compatibility, and possess knowledge of and understanding of open source software — basically an all around web guru.

Since SWYF is a global art project, we are looking for translators who might be interested in working with us. Ideally, we are looking to translate materials into Spanish, Korean, Portugese, Japanese, French, Hindi, and Finnish.

* Time invested by the 3 team members is not factored into the budget. Team members are responsible for overall graphic design, web development, content development, programming, database management, research, outreach, and other project-related activities. We estimate that each team member spends on average, 60 hours/month on the project. At $40/hr for 10 months, the total cost for work done by all 3 team members would total $72,000.
