DESKTOP APPLICATION WiTH SELF INSTALLER (MAC AND PC) We need a desktop application that can be downloaded and installed on a Windows PC or Apple Mac - it should self install and display by default as the computer starts up. Any news or information that is new should download to the application and display. Information will be separated into channels - the channels will form tabs in the application such as news, events, gallery, resources etc. Looking to develop a similar system as seen at this company - [login to view URL] Please download an example to see what we have in mind.

Any news or information that is new should download to the application and display. Information will be separated into channels - the channels will form tabs in the application such as news, events, gallery, resources etc. The news items should link back to an online article to allow for users to comment. The application should be easy to customize with a set background colour and a logo that can be dropped in. The application should also be able to display a newsflash or series of newsflashes if there and more than one. Each application should be alb eto be customized easily - the background colour and the logo. The idea is that we want the application to be downloaded and installed on a Mac or PC - the user then selected the company or school the wish to follow - they are them prompted for a pre-shared password (from the company or school) they then enter this password and can view the information - and in the personalize tab they can turn off receiving certain information. For example the may want news on cricket and soccer - but no news on swimming. The application should be a generic item - but on selecting the company or school the want to follow, it should change graphically to display that logo and display colours. (Style sheet for each). The files should be saved locally as this should not be required to download each time. Other items should also download thumbnails and store the locally - for example a news item with an image - clicking on an image thumbnail will show the image larger - but that would need to be downloaded. Alternatively - if that is too complex - we just need the app to show headings and thumb and story detail - and then link to the full story online when clicked. Basically we want to see what we would be able to do. ONLINE SYSTEM - USERS CAn DEFINE A COMPANY OR SCHOOL AND THEIR CHANNELS TO DELIVER NEWS AND INFO THROUGH Users would each be given their own profile online like domain,com/mynewsportal - and in that area their news can display either publicly or require a password (their settings) - in their admin area they can either publish the information through and easy to use web portal - or they can define an RSS feed to draw the info from. So we want to provide users with the ability to publish through our system - or simply draw info from their existing news system vis RSS. We are looking for a dev team that can develop the desktop application just like the example and you should have examples that you can show us - to prove you can do the job. Modules to publish would be: > News items (in easy blog style) > Events (date, time, place and Google map) > Gallery > Contact > Resources (documents and downloads) > Use details (ability for a user to update their details - subscriber management) > Customise (area where end user can customize the info the want in news, events and gallery etc) DESIGN We are a design studio - so all screen design will be down by us and supplied to you in Fireworks (PNG screens). We will work closely you on this to make sure we create the best system with smoothest interface and design. System should be built in Visual Studio and online code in PHP. We will require source code after the project is completed.
