Busy custom coded website with half a million unique readers a month needs a skilled programmer to convert it into WordPress. Everything about current script is custom coded, including forums, journals, galleries as well as the admin's interface. Being custom coded, the website uses unorthodox MySQL structure and its own file storage system for user uploaded images.

I'm looking to get this site redone so it runs on WPMU with BuddyPress replacing all of its current features and adding new, desired ones as per instructions.

Even though this may seem as a simple task, it is a large job that will require a highly skilled programmer/team. Tricky data conversion from one DB structure to another will need to be performed, image storage structure will need to be restructured and most of all, automatic 301 redirection will need to be worked out so currently indexed pages don't lose their traffic after conversion into new URL structure.

I'm looking for a highly competent programmers, preferably not someone with too much feedback. You should have solid references and understanding of US work for hire laws as your compensation will be the monies received, but all rights over scripts will be relinquished in favor of a buyer.
