Hi, I''ve managed to convince one of my clients to begin converting their ASP.NET site over to Rails. The main reasons for doing this stem from the fact that the ASP.NET code is buggy and the productivity increases Rails provides will make future work much more easier. The site is http://www.egive.org.au . It''s a portal for non-profit organisations to accept donations and payments via credit card or direct debit and behind the scenes there''s a CRM to allow organisations to track their contacts. There''s a bunch of smaller features too but the donation/payment system and CRM are the main ones. We''re looking for someone to help us with the conversion process. The ideal person would probably be someone that''s interested in getting a combination of an agreed upon amount of money upon the completion of each module and possibly some form of profit sharing from eGive. This is only part-time work, and there''s no huge rush to have it finished. It probably calls for between five to ten hours of work per week. We''re based in Australia, so everything will be done remotely. We will use Subversion as the SCM system. If this sounds like it would interest you send me an email off-list with any questions/comments you may have, and, if you like, your resume/cv. -- Ben Myles railsapphosting.com
I should also add that as the budget for this project isn''t all that big it''s also a good opportunity for someone relatively new to Rails to get some free mentoring/training in Rails, plus a commercial project on their CV. Of course, you still need to be switched on and previous development experience in some platform is desirable (open source projects are fine, doesn''t need to be commercial experience).

I guess you know who I am, as far as Rails programming is concerned. On top of that, I''m currently working on a .NET project in ThoughtWorks, have some spare time on evenings and weekends (until my family moves over in November) and am dying for some sort of commercial Rails experience to which I can point and say "here, I did this". Besides, I might have uses for another handful of dollars. :) What do you think? Best regards, Alexey Verkhovsky

eGive itself has been a non-profit up until now (under the umbrella of Earth Share Australia - www.earthshare.org.au) however it is currently in the process of being spun off and incorporated into a for-profit. Should have clarified that - sorry. The statement still holds true however - it''s a portal for non-profit orgs...
