I'm an instructional designer at Boston College, and I have a freelance project for a Drupal developer with strong css skills and experience configuring community-driven sites. We are doing a fair amount of in-house Drupal development in our group at the moment but we have one project that we won't be able to finish unless we get some assistance (and the professor involved has money to pay for it).

Here's an brief overview of the project:
A professor in the political science department is the director of an NEH summer program on John Adams taking place for the first
time this July. As a collaboration with the Adams National Historical Park, this two-week workshop is designed to provide community college faculty the chance to deepen their understanding of John Adams in the rich historical context of Boston. We developed a static HTML site to provide some basic information for participants, but Prof. Landy would like to develop a site that could serve as a meeting place for the participants once they scatter all over the country after the program is over. The course will be offered each year, so the goal is to grow the site into a substantial resource for John Adams scholarshop, one that could be particularly useful for community-college instructions who otherwise might not have much support from their institutions.

In general, we'd be looking for:
-- Community blog/discussion functionality so that participants could post and comment on John Adams-related material
-- Social networking functionality that will help users meet each other and keep in touch
-- The ability for the professor to post selected research papers from the course (a kind of e-journal of scholarship on John Adams)

The main development tasks:
-- installation Drupal 4.7 with any relevant contributed modules
-- basic configuration based on a list of functionality (user
registration, blogging, discussion board, organic groups)
-- theme development based on the existing site: www.bc.edu/johnadams

There wouldn't be any follow-up maintenance or support for this; we can do any further development after the site is handed over. We mainly need someone to do the theming and configuration legwork to give us a head start on finishing this by the end of the summer.

The deadline for this project would be late summer (or sooner if possible).

If you are interested in discussing the project more and offering a quote, please get in touch with me using the contact form.

Thanks.

Tim
