Building an application to allow users to attach metadata to physical objects using a map interface and autocomplete fields on their browser, and to search for the same metadata by keywords, key-value filters, and location. This bidding request is for the first week of work. The full project is estimated to take 10-20 weeks, so please only bid if you are available for future assignments. I will also need to be able to -speak- to you on Skype over the course of development. Finally, please only bid if you have experience developing website applications using Ruby on Rails. ## Deliverables Week 1 of the project includes the below deliverables, as time permits (please review spec files attached for details) Assumed rate is $20/hr so a $500 bid means a commitment to 25 hours of work per the work schedule posted below.
