 Sourcing Type: Outsourcing
This is an outsourcing project. To apply, place your bid below and we'll notify you if the employer picks you to work on it. Since this is a pay-for-deliverables project, you will bid a fixed price to complete the entire job. If you win and complete the work according to contract, you will be paid completely at the end (or partially as each of your optional milestones arrive). vWorker.com guarantees payment to all workers who meet their contracts.

Brief summary:
  • vWorker.com reminder: You MAY NOT post the final solution for this (and any) project before your bid is accepted and funds are fully escrowed. Anyone who does may have their account permanently suspended. However, you CAN post:
    • On programming projects: A prototype or functional demo...as long as source code is not provided.
    • On graphics projects: A watermarked and low-resolution version of the work.
I'm looking for someone who is familiar with IRC and would feel comfortable coding some IRC services for it.  We can base the services off of "ircservices" or something similar.  I'm looking to take an older style X (from Undernet) and mix it with something of DALnet style, with a little twist of our own features.  If this sounds like something you can do and would like to do, please feel free to bid on this project.  I'm open on the cost of the project but would like to stay reasonable as we all know IRC is not a profitable thing.

Requirements Interview Answers:
To help you bid more accurately, the employer was interviewed about the requirements for this project. Below are their answers. Untitled Page
Project Type: What kind of work do you need done?
Software related (Includes desktop applications and internet websites)
Project Parts: What do you want the worker to do on this project?
Requirements: The worker will analyze the problem and propose a software-based solution to the problem.
Programming: The worker will take the requirements and translate them into the language of the computer (and test it).
User installation: The installer will move the software from the place it was created (which is called the development or QC environment) to where you will use it (which is called the production environment). The installer then tests the software to make sure that the installation was done properly and completely.
Req. Doc. Type: What kind of documentation do you want for this project?
Informal documentation - As the employer talks back and forth about the project with the worker, those conversations become the requirements.Remember to communicate ALL of the details of your project on the vWorker.com site. If you don't, and there is a dispute, then important details of the contract will not be documented and cannot be taken into account in arbitration. If you feel you MUST go offsite (for example, using the phone or IM) then afterwards post everything onsite and get the other party to post that they agree to those contractual terms.
Program Type: What kind of software should the worker create (and/or install)?
  • A desktop or server program: This software runs on a user's own PC/workstation, or on a server.
  • Other:IRCd, IRC Services, etc.
Desktop / server program info
Size of application: How many screens/forms need to be created/edited in this application?
I don't know.
Other info:You should know roughly what we're looking for if you are familiar.
Programming Language: What programming language(s) do you want your application written in?
I do know the language(s).
Languages(s):
  • C++ / C
  • C#
Operating system(s) What operating systems(s) do you want your application to work on?
I do know the operating system(s):
  • Linux -- version(s): CentOS
  • FreeBSD -- version(s): Current
  • Database: Will this project include a database?
    No, it does not include a database.
    Installation Program: Does the worker need to create an installation program?
    No. The worker needs to only give me instructions on how to install it.
    Legal: 1) I require complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done (so that I may modify it in the future).
    2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):
    2a) If there are any server-side deliverables (intended to only exist in one place in the Employer's environment) then they must be installed by the Worker in ready-to-run condition (unless specified elsewhere by the Employer).
    2b) All other software (including but not limited to any desktop software or software the employer intends to distribute) must include a software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this project (unless specified elsewhere by the Employer).
    3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Employer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased.
    3b) No part of the deliverable may contain any copyright restricted 3rd party components (including GPL, GNU, Copyleft, etc.) unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the employer on the site per the worker's Worker Legal Agreement.
    • Worker: On pay-for-deliverable projects, all deliverables must be uploaded to vWorker.com before the deadline(s)…with no exceptions. If this contract makes it impossible to do this (for example if it is for a service that cannot be uploaded), then do not start this project. Otherwise, you may find yourself unprotected by the payment guarantee. Instead, ask the employer to switch this project to pay-for-time, so you are guaranteed payment. If the employer will not switch this, then please alert us. (Click here for more details...)
    • Remember that contacting the other party outside of the site (by email, phone, etc.) on all outsourcing pay-for-deliverables projects < $500 (before the employer's money is escrowed) is a violation of both the employer and worker agreements. vWorker.com monitors all site activity for such violations and can instantly expel transgressors on the spot, so we thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you notice a violation please help out the site and report it. Thanks for your help.
    Categories:
    • The categories were created by the employer, but sometimes mistakes occur. If any of these categories are incorrect, please report it and let us know.
    • Like everything else on this page, these categories are part of the original contract for this project.
    Languages, C++ / C, Requirements, Operating systems / platforms, C#, Other (Technology), Linux, FreeBSD, Technology, Software Development, Scripts and utilities, Other (Software development)
