Hi,
I posted this on the drupal.org paid drupallers forum and also the group's site at www.drupaljedi.com. Sorry for the multiple posts. I would really love it if someone local to Dallas area could respond who is looking for paid work on a drupal based site. Needs to be senior drupaller!
I have a community site that will do upload of videos and have biographies. The Book project may be a good fit for the biographies because multiple people will contribute. Theme will probably need to be customized. This site could get very large so need someone familiar with optimization and performance best practices.
The other part is standard stuff: blogs, forums, etc.
The site exists on a custom windows asp system now. Its current membership and biographies will need to be transferred to the new drupal based site.
See post on paid drupals forum or on this group's website www.drupaljedi.com.
