Hi, This is request to seek hired scripting & programming consultation for the following job...
The groups ‘Studio Wikitecture’ and ‘RL Architects in SL’ are gearing up for the next Wikitecture experiment – where we will continue to explore if the ideas behind web 2.0 (such as mass collaboration, crowdsourcing, and collective intelligence , etc.) can be applied to architectural design. A more extensive program and protocol for this past Wikitecture 2.0 experiment can be found here:

One goal we have been trying to address from one experiment to the next is the improvement of the system where contributors to the evolving design are able to rank and comment on their fellow contributor’s contributions. In the last Wikitecture 2.0 experiment we had asked the contributors to take ‘Snapshots’ of the areas they changed and, via SL’s ‘Send a Postcard’ function, upload them along with either a positive or negative comment to a special Flickr account:

From here it was envisioned that someone could come in halfway through the project and, by reading the backlog of commentary, determine in what direction the community was taking the design. We noticed, however, that very few people used this system. Most likely because the system was not very user-friendly and required too many steps. For this next Wikitecture 3.0 experiment we would like to design a more user-friendly ranking/comment system that is solely resident within SL. I have, with my vague knowledge of scripting, put together a storyboard that outlines how I think this system could be pulled off in SL. I was wondering if we could consult with you in possibility writing the script for this system? If this is something you might be interested in here is the link to the pdf storyboard we have outline thus far.

I know certain aspects of the storyboard might not be programmatically possible, but hopefully the concept is vague enough where there might be different ways to approach the same concept. If you would like to take this job on, please send me a quote as well as a projected timeframe. Thanks for your time and look forward working with you.
Regards,
Theory Shaw
