<br/>Note:The BIG text Dont Make it as BIG Project:)<br/><br/>I had described it as much as simple i can, so you will understand it well,So i request you to please go through it before you place the BID<br/><br/><br/><br/>This site is for a public interest and not for any profit to the owner of the site.<br/><br/>The basic idea is sharing the lecture handwritten notebooks online.<br/><br/>There will be two persons involved in this site as users,one who wants to share or who want to buy that note<br/><br/><br/>The design should be attractive and colorful for college students and should be liked by the youths<br/><br/>my idea about the design:<br/><br/>On the home page,i would like to put three boxes 1,2,3 as shown in the http://www.sharenotes.com/ so it will make the user easily understand how it works.<br/><br/>Also i like the 'Find you school' box' and 'top gurus' section in www.gradeguru.com<br/><br/>Also i would like to see good contribution from your creativity.<br/><br/><br/>But the functionality is different and below you can see the details and you will understand how simple it is.<br/><br/><br/>This is a rough Idea and more contributions are invited from talented programmers for making this site useful for students.<br/><br/><br/><br/>There is no ecommerce online transaction or upload notes facility in the site at present.so it will be a simple site and easier to use.<br/><br/><br/>The name of the student,department, college,state,country is a must( as we use these field for search result),other fields are optional while making the registration.<br/><br/>There is no separate registration for those who buys the notes and those who sells the notes.All the users will be able to post notes and make offers for notes.<br/><br/>Add college and dept if not available in the list while creating the profile.<br/><br/><br/>when a person joining the site by registration,an email should be send to all the person in his friendslist regarding the service details.<br/><br/>Suppose you are registering in the site with gmail or yahoomail or hotmail etc,or signing with facebook connect,an email will be send to all your<br/><br/>friends in gmail or yahoomail or hotmail,facebook I will provide the content of email.<br/><br/>(you might be familiar with this as you may seen some emails in your inbox with a subject that some of your friend invited to join a particular site like with a subject "Santa Says Donts throws your old lecture notes to the dust bin,you can now share it online")<br/><br/><br/>The person buying should be able either to search by topic,search by student name,search by dept and search by college or all or some of these fields at a time for a focused search.<br/><br/><br/>when a person submit a note for sale after creating the account,we are not providing any upload facility at the moment,but in fact he can give the title of<br/><br/>the note and small description field where he can put the condition of the note,handwriting,the strategy he used to prepare the note etc as text and a field for no: of pages<br/><br/>and some drop down button to select the dept and college,country etc and the same will be saved in Database and be pulled accordingly when a person search for notes with the relevant fields<br/><br/><br/>5 star rating system for both the user type.<br/><br/><br/><br/>The person selling will be able to view the offers from his/her account for each of his/her note submission and by clicking on an offer,he/she should<br/><br/>have an option to select the offerer,and if selected, that submission will be frozen he/she should be able to view the persons contact details either on the site or email..<br/><br/><br/><br/>IDEA:He/she can contact the person with that contact details and ask whether he/she is interested and if not,we should provide an option to reopen his/her submission again for sale.<br/><br/><br/><br/>A space for placing adsense ads(780*90),A small square box on the right top for putting my image ad<br/><br/>facebook,twitter,digg links besides each posts<br/><br/><br/><br/>Basic SEO things such as H1,title,meta etc should be there(professional coders will do this,but still to make you clear)<br/><br/>The URLs should be SEO friendly like www.example.com/college/dept/title<br/><br/><br/>When a New post is submitted ,a notification should go to all the registered users through email.<br/><br/><br/><br/>From the admin,i will be able to view how many post submitted for a month,week,day and how many offers made to each of those posts.<br/><br/>how many users registered for a month,week,day<br/><br/>option to add country.college,dept.<br/><br/>Ability to replace the content of some of the static pages like FAQs,terms and conditions,about etc(OPTIONAL)<br/><br/>Ability to send newsletter with my logo to all the registered members for informing them if i am making any update to the site(optional)<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>This project is intended for a public service,So the budget is limited.But however i can provide you more days to finish this.So only bid within the limit.<br/><br/>Otherwise i will be forced myself to remove your bids.<br/><br/><br/><br/>The project Deadline is June 25-No more extension<br/><br/>Payment will be done via escrow according to the following<br/><br/>30% upon design submission<br/><br/>50% upon completion and showing a working site on your server<br/><br/>20% upon testing and making sure its bug free.<br/><br/><br/>100% Releasing of escrow after you upload files to my server<br/><br/><br/><br/>*New providers are also considered.<br/><br/><br/>Happy bidding!<br/><br/><br/>Best Regards<br/><br/>Santa<br/><br/>Additional Info (Added 5/29/2010 at 9:17 EST)... another design i like is http://www.notehall.com<br/><br/><br/>Lowest bid will be chosen.and those who overbid the budget will be removed instantly without any notification.<br/><br/><br/>Thanks<br/><br/>
