If someone is interested in pursuing this sort of development (or leading the group that does) I'd love to speak with them (e-mail/PM/here).

I can offer (depending on your preference some or all of):
  • Hosting on the same server that's used for some openFIRST stuff (and which hosts FIRSTcast, amongst other things).
  • Sufficient diskspace/bandwidth to get something like this running.
  • Access to some code that I started on ages ago which does some of the similar stuff (FTP management / browsing inside zip files / what not). I'm not sure how helpful this will be; but, I figured I'd throw it out there.
  • Some assistance with how to automatically create/delete FTP accounts for users to upload/download from (it's pretty straightforward). These details may be specific to the above mentioned server offer (though anything with CPanel will probably be similar).
  • A bit of help here and there with code things.
  • If you'd like (through Jamie) some help using openFIRST 2.0 in order to avoid having to write some of the more tedious things like user management / logins / passwords / what not.
  • Some help with fletching out a design/spec for this thing.

The one thing that I definitely don't have is enough time to take on a project like this myself. At this point I've already got enough on my plate.

P.S. Just throwing this out there, too: are people interested in adding an animation contact to the FIRST Contacts Database and an option to checkmark their willingness to do renders for others?
