Isacco.org

ONLY FOR TRUE EXPERTS IN REAL-TIME AUDIO-VIDEO STREAMING FOR A/V CONFERENCES. 

New website design is requested. Isacco&D.org will be a website dedicated to alcohol and substance addicted individuals and to their recovery through audio-videoconferencing groups in virtual rooms (help-online). These groups are led by group leaders. 

Members have to register and make payments, look at scheduled group sessions and attend via webcam-microphone their multipoint audio-videoconferencing group, only if their administrative position is valid. 
About 10 members are simultaneously active with their live audio and video. 
Administrator(s) will be able to invite members, control their payments, send ever new password to enter into virtual room, allow or prohibit room entrance, enable/disable single audio (so voices won’t overlap) and/or single video, chat publicly or privately with each member, share admin’s desktop and send given files, use a whiteboard to graphically communicate.

Technical Requirements for Project Isacco:

• Before any technical requirement, reliability and affordability are asked along with a quite daily contact via email;
• Adobe Macromedia Flash Video and/or Flex or equivalent software used to build audio-videoconferencing virtual room(s); I don’t need absolutely commercial conferencing software (Adobe Connect - ex Macromedia Breeze, Microsoft Live Meeting etc.); so only true experts in real-time audio-video streaming should answer this auction;
• Accessibility expertise (the site shall be accessible and XHTML compliant);
• ASP and/or ASP.Net 2.0;
• Audio and video live streaming deep knowledge + related transmission and compression protocols (SIP, H320; H323, H246 etc.). Adjustable bandwidth consumption for members and/or admin is essential for final purpose (commercial ADSL connection will be required at min. 256 – 378 Kbps upstream speed and 1.5 – 2 Mbps downstream speed). Virtual room shall be perfectly running without unexpected breakdowns (audio- and video-files compression have to be closely evaluated); 
• HTML/CSS/ JavaScript/Ajax expertise;
• MS Access (or MS SQL Server 2005);
• Online safety control;
• SEO Friendly;
• VB and/or VB.Net;
• Website must be compatible with IE and FireFox/Mozilla based browsers;

• Implement audio-videoconference virtual room with live streaming (multipresence, multipoint) for about 10 members with no breakdowns.
