Notification System

This is a very simple yet interesting project!! What we need to create is a messaging or notification system that can speak to many networks. The idea is very simple. Imagine that you need to send a message to a user using more than one method. Like SMS, MSN, Yahoo, Google Talk, email, etc. Currently there is no service that provides such a function. This project target is to provide this functionality for 3rd party coders and programmers. The scope of this bid is everything in the background; the core of the system. Don’t worry if you are not a seasoned web designer. This bid is not about designing web pages. What you need to know is: **MySQL:** To create the database needed to hold the messages queues **libpurple:** To be able to send messages to almost all IM networks. Check <[login to view URL]> **libClickatell:** To be able to send SMSs to mobiles or cell phones using the Clickatell gateway. Check <[login to view URL]> **C or C++:** To write the daemon that monitors the MySQL database and sends messages **PHP:** To be able to write the script that will recive the notification requests and feed it into the database. For more details check the SRS attached. And see the diagram in the end of the PDF file. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate contacting me. All questions are welcomed. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.

(No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement). ## Platform Source code will be stored and managed using Subversion (SVN). All source code must compile with no issues on Ubuntu 7.04. If any libraries are required that must be stated clearly on a Readme or Install file under /doc directory. All libraries used must be included with the source code to compile against them and saved in /lib directory. If libraries are system provided, the exact version must be documented to avoid confusion.
