XES -- aka (The) Crisses

We are not your normal run-of-the-mill geek. I (we) am (are) the owner & sole-proprietor of Eclectic Tech, LLC, and an out-of-the-closet multiple (as in multiple personality).

We are currently making ourselves available as a wiki-installation and set-up guru, web admin, web designer, Mac & Linux consultant and as a PHP developer (this is the stuff we charge money for to eat). See our Eclectic Tech, LLC site for more details.

I accept bounties for PmWiki module development.

The bounty entails paying me to prioritize working on a module you need that either may never be developed, or not developed soon enough for your needs. I will gladly write up a project agreement and accept payment (corp-to-corp or PayPal) as bounties for writing PmWiki modules. I've done this to write the VBulletin module (below), and I've created many modules as part of the contract for Similepedia. I have other paid module work coming up. A bounty on a PmWiki module is similar to other paid programming work except that it 1) excludes creation of the module as a work-for-hire so my copyrights are retained, and 2) acknowledges that an appropriate version of the module will be contributed back to the PmWiki community as an open-source plug-in.

We run several wikis, including:

http://yourgreenclub.com/
http://www.kinhost.org/
http://www.eclectictech.net/ (not public-edit. Using wiki as a CMS backend for personal business site, with wiki controls obfuscated.)
http://opensourcereiki.org/
http://holistichv.org/ (also not public-edit)

And have professionally installed, configured & customized many wikis, including:
