There is also $3,000+ in the ticket support system waiting...

All that stuff you're talking about does work. Plus, I've added a lot more media functionality, it's really nice, it's hard to keep GUI documentation, program the CMS, provide support, go to college full time, pay bills. Yes, you need an update.

If you want to handle support I'll make an admin; set you up with email. There's alot of reading that you'll need to do and some tickets I haven't been able to reply to.

Just a warning, SJoamce people get all pissy when you take interest in a project then; don't have time for the work, because of a current work overload.

I have been working on a website (2 weeks) that is much nicer than the demo, haven't received any money for it yet. There is a lot to show for it, but there is also a ton of work to do. Besides the GUI docs there is no other documentation. There needs to be a written API for the template system. There's a lot of work. As time goes documentation needs to be updated, bugs need to be fixed, new features have to be coded; added into the software package, manuals, etc. It's fuck load of work to do; I'm the only one who can do the stuf f that doesn't pay, without distributing source code to other programmers. I don't have the time to program software and produce income by being a dedicated webmaster.

If I didn't want to work I wouldn't have spent a month on the project; being broke; earning no money; look at the good guys like TooMuchMedia.com. It takes an entire team to produce great software; the software is worth every single penny. This type of quality can not be achieved by a single programmer. Especially one who isn't making any money ( wish is discouraging); and is in college full time, trying to make good grades; produce great software.

I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't need money for when the software is complete. A software is never completed, people always want something different or unique; Sure we have the 1 click template tag installs, but (and here comes that API thing again...) unless you understand the underlying object orientation of the system you can't modify tags or create your own with any type of dynamic functionality; let alone take advantage of the built-in scriptaculous web 2.0 capabilities; did you even know that was built into the template system?

I need funding to keep working on the CMS; Otherwise, this is what we deal with - Yea, let's hire the guy who hosts from home; has no phone and doesn't know how to start or finish a project.
