Social Network Platform in ASP.NET/AJAX

We're building a social network platform with minimal social networking features. We dont have a complete design/spec document as yet. So you'll have to work with us piece by piece on that. Specifics: - ASP.NET 2.0 WITH AJAX (lots of updatepanels) - CACHING - MULTI-TIER APPLICATION - DATABASE IN MSSQL 05 Basically the Application will have a frontend and an administration panel. Frontend features: (All pages will be built as asp.net components and embedded within aspx pages) - Users Friends - User Groups ( group networks, each user can create groups, or join a group) - User Activity ( user1 posted comment to user2 , etc ) - User Profile Page (Customized) - User Dashboard where Users can post items(post photo,post link,post text, post video link(youtube etc)) - Users can subscribe to other users feeds. Admin Panel: - User settings ( Email verification required etc ) - User groups (Admins, moderators, custom groups ) - The frontend theme can be changed and configured from the admin panel. - Site settings can also be changed ( smtp servers, ports, site title, site footer text, site logo image ) Note that this will be a platform/framework for further development and you will have to follow a certain class structure/object model as we require. We will work together with the team on the design work for this project. We have attached a minimal set of specifications as we've brainstormed at the initial creation of the project. We would be working together on all phases of this project and the team selected would have to user SUBVERSION or SOURCESAFE. Before development, we will work together with the team and provide specifications for each module as the team requires, since as development team we find certain teams work well if they're given information in the way they're used to interpreting it. ## 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.
