I'm looking for a part time coder who knows vBulletin and has a grounding with xenForo plus the time and willingness to work with us to write the plugins and make the template changes needed to create all the functionality we currently have with vB3.8.
We will be upgrading from vBulletin to xenForo as soon as all the functionality is coded.
You may be required to consult with Kier and/or Mike so they can integrate a small number of the modifications into the core product.
We can discuss the fee which could be on a per addon or per week/month.
I am expecting the work to take at least a month of solid coding spread out over maybe 3 months.
The bulk of the work involves the following list, some of which may already be available in the xenForo addons forum, I don't know.
Interested coders please conversation me
