The Parks & Historic Sites On The Air project is seeking help from a couple programmers
Parks & Historic Sites On The Air ( www.cnpota.ca ) is a brain child of several Hams in the Halifax area who want to duplicate the American Parks theme of two years ago, only for Canada. We need assistance of a couple programmers Below is a description of what is needed.
The division of programming labor they are looking for is
- Doug Grace will return to work on the web site to add support for ADIF file upload, update the logos, and assist with changes for bilingual translation.
- We’ll need to find (several?) others to help design and write the backend processes to confirm QSOs, compile statistics, maintain leader boards, track awards.
- We’ll need to figure out if we’re going to allow already uploaded logs to be deleted or edited. If we do, we’ll need to have a subsystem designed and written to do this.
- We’ll need specific computer skill sets. Experience in a UNIX/Linux environment, database design and SQL coding (MySQL or other database), Linux programming in Perl or PHP programming language.
Anyone interested, please contact Doug Grace VE1DFG by e-mail or by phone 902-456-0506. Thanks so much and look forward to hearing from interested people.
