We need PHP or Java and MySQL programming for a site similar to [login to view URL] or [login to view URL], with some unique commenting and user rating features. Users will be able to upload text, pdf, and .doc documents, organize them within subject matter areas, and highlight and comment on parts of each document. Comments must "float" next to parts of the document, tied to particular parts, such that they move with the document as it is scrolled. Highlighting on the text of the documents, which can be saved and tied to comments, will be possible by the user. Comments will be rankable by users, and users will be ranked by their contributions, as well as have profiles that describe their interests, groups, projects and friends, as in most social media websites.
An internal site search engine will also be part of the project. The OCR text of each document needs to be automatically indexed for the search engine as users upload documents. Various fields will be entered by users, such as date, document name, etc., will be entered by users to facilitate advanced searching.
Please note if there are any features that you foresee difficulty in meeting with a post to the PMB, and explain what those difficulties are, and how you or your team envision overcoming them. Otherwise, I will assume that your bid includes each feature.
Please post any questions or contingencies to your bid to the PMB, and good luck bidding!
