Paid Drupal services

We hebben in het verleden in Drupal een site laten ontwikkelen (zie www.fondswervingonline.nl).
Fondswervingonline.nl is een not for profit initiatief om non-profit instellingen te helpen bij het werven van subsidies, fondsen en sponsors.

Momenteel draait deze op Drupal 4.6 en Postgress op een eigen server met redelijk veel maatwerk en modules.

De programmeur die dit ruim een jaar geleden heeft gemaakt heeft een andere baan gekregen en is niet meer beschikbaar, terwijl we wel tegen een paar fouten aanlopen en redelijk veel willen laten aanpassen.

Onze vragen zijn:
-Heeft u tijd en interesse om ons te helpen met aanpassen en installeren van modules van Drupal (4.6 /Postgress) en het oplossen van fouten.
-Heetf u tiid en interesse om te helpen bij het maken van maatwerkmodules en uitbreidingen voor de site.
-Wanneer zou u indien u intreresse heeft af en toe tijd hebben.
-Welke vergoeding vraagt u.

Fondswervingonline.nl is grotendeels not for profit. We hebben wel wat budget maar niet veel. Wellicht kunnen we iets wederzijds acceptabels bedenken.

Helaas komen we er achter dat er toch wel het een en ander niet werkt zoals we het willen en we toch het een en ander aangepast en uitgebreid willen, kortom: een hele kluif. Graag werken we dan ook met iemand met ervaring met Drupal.

Graag hoor ik van u op korte termijn.

Met vriendelijke groeten,

Fondswervingonline.nl

Hi, I was thinking about using xoops until I ran into drupal. I do like the blogging feature and just seems to be more active here. I was wondering what the cost of porting a xoops plugin to druapl is and if anyone has done that then please let me know what was done and at what cost or if there is somewhere I can find a team of people that does drupal development. I'm looking at there helpdesk and debaser module that my friend uses on his site but drupals muti-blogs is very attractive since I was going to use xoops and mu.wordpress but if I can get it all in one package that would be better. Please note that I did see a helpdesk module but it is either no longer worked on or is on standby so I'd rather not cross my fingers and wait. The debaser module that I was playing around with is modified from it's orginal verison, such as alot of stuff was taken out and some minor stuff was added in but overall it does what it does. What's this for...well for my own hobby of making airplanes and rockets and showing them off so it's basically a personal site that I'll have some friends join but I don't have the timeo create one in asp.net which which is what I work with so a cms of this nature can be done in a few weeks instead of several months. My budget is small and any modules will be added to the public module list for other people to use. I'd also like to keep this public so

DrupalSites.net is missing top sites list at the moment which was shut down due to massive spam submissions and some hacking attempts. (http://www.drupalsites.net/blog/robo/issues-with-top-sites-again).

We have a very nice collection of domains in a certain niche and have only started a small social and business networking site that is getting traffic. We need to move away from the current software (no worry about moving profiles) and are interested in drupal given some of the fantastic results I've seen for such sites.

I'm glad to provide more including a list akin to an RFP but don't want to put it out in public here, as you can understand. Ideally this site is in a niche community and requires the ability to have profiles that can be used for both dating and business, the user choosing how much or how little information to share. There should also be a choice for what the user is looking for, e.g. dating or business networking, etc. If there are suggestions about using a separate integration of a dating script, e.g. osdate, then we are open to the possibility of using external scripts together. This might be the case since I'm not sure whether it's an easy task to add about 25 categories to a user profile and a good mechanism to search them all.

Essentially we are not happy with phpfox for the obvious reasons. It does many things we want but none of it well or organized. Handshakes is also not an acceptable script for performance reasons amongst others. In listing some of the items we need to accomplish, they are as follows:

1) Dating/social profile and functionality
