Candidates must be accustomed to writing clear, straightforward code and must be amenable to license assignment a la FSF. The project requires coders who are willing to write informal requirements documents based on user input and specification, as well as being extremely willing to "scratch someone else's itch." The project includes a web-based utility environment and a non-web-based interactive chat environment. The web component will be modular and will provide user authentication, incident reporting and volunteer time scheduling, as well as allow configuration of external services. PostgreSQL and MySQL experience needed. LDAP, XML-RPC and SOAP expertise highly desirable. Code reuse is encouraged where it does not interfere with ease of use and design goals. Professional-quality artwork and layout needed; site must be web standards compliant. The non-web component consists of a modular interactive chat framework designed to replace a conventional IRC daemon, with abstracted session management and modules to implement IRC, jabber and other eventually other client protocols. User and discussion group configuration primarily via web component. Performance is extremely important. If you're interested in helping out, please email me at levin at freenode dot net or stop by irc.freenode.net and message lilo. Thanks.
