Volunteer wanted for quick review of charity database
Posted: Wed Jul 26, 2006 6:49 am
Hello
I'm looking for a volunteer to review my charity's mySQL/php database and advise whether it can be modified to meet an extended specification.
I work for Pilotlight http://www.pilotlight.org.uk, a charity that supports the work of other charities in southeast England by providing them with strategic skills from the private sector.
Two years ago Pilotlight commissioned a database to manage its contacts and cases. The developer, who worked in mySQL/php, was unable to complete the project, which has languished ever since. Having recently joined the charity, I'm eager to get a database up and running.
Our present requirements are more extensive than they were two years ago. My problem is that, being entirely ignorant of mySQL and php, I can't tell whether it's easier to extend and finalise the existing work, or to begin again from scratch. So I'm looking for someone to review the database and give us some advice. It should be a short job.
All offers of help gratefully received!
Many thanks
Dan
