[pmwiki-devel] still in need for help (but now I'm also ready to pay for it :) )

[fodormik at interware.hu]

Dear All,

2-3 weeks ago I posted a suggestion for improving the pmwiki. No reply
since then... I didn't gave up. :)  Currently I seek for professionals who
are ready to do it for money. (if it will be ready, I will upload the
add-on to pmwiki.org).

 Please find my project description on

http://www.getacoder.com/projects/pmwiki_php_based_add_73346.html

Of course I would be happier to get the help of a pmwiki professional, if
any.

You can find my detailed description on my plans on www.fodorhr.hu/phpsp.rar

I would be happy to contribute to pmwiki community.

Best regards,

Miklos

PS: if somebody is interested, it does not have to go through getacoder.

Tárgy: improvement idea for pmwiki

Hi Pm,

I'm familiarizing myself with pmwiki for 6 month to see whether it fits to
my major hobby: creating a non-profit community site for psychologists
with the aim of bringing closer the science to layman + offering the
possibility for users to contribute in scientific research.

During these months I became a fan of your concept: the simplicity and
elegance of the core idea is excellent for many purposes (including mine).
But! I have some suggestions for improvement in the field of attracting
well-prepared people to our sites. The concept:

EYE CATHING + EMPHASIS ON VISUAL COMMUNICATION + RESPECTING THE DIFFERENT
LEVELS OF EXPERTISE The background: well-prepared people usually have less
time to decide whether a topic is of their interest or not. Even the most
interesting texts are usually awfully long.

The solution: preparing visual abstracts (e.g. with pmwikidraw). Visual
abstract = a simple drawing (or gif/flash animation) and some text that
shows the essence of the long-long original text. The drawings come from
the normal document and the text can be the titles/subtitles (similar to
TOC).


Attached I send you a brief specification of the homepage I would like to
build + a sample page's picture. I hope that after reading it you might
understand better my concept.

You are the first person I contacted in this topic because I'm really
impressed by pmwiki. Please reply to me asap letting me know if I can
count on your help or not. Although I think that my concept could enrich
pmwiki as such, if you disagree I'm interested to hire professionals who
can do it for me. In the second case I would appreciate recommendations.
