Needs (+/-)

Salim Virani would like someone to:

help put together a video-based knowledge-sharing platform for one of my clients. The main obstacle here is a very limited tech uptake among the users; we're talking people who might not have used a mouse in a lot of cases. I'm thinking there might be some possibility using mobiles instead. Peer-based Education, Ubiquitous Interfaces, Trust Maps and Trust-led Organisational Management could all prove useful here. And we could generate some revenue for ESP!

I'm always on the lookout for PHP programmers. Also, if anyone has any experience with managing outsourced programmers, I'd love to buy you lunch!
