Looking for a Ruby/Python Developer

Hey guys, I’ve scoped out a new project & I’m looking to partner with a Designer/Developer to take things to the next level. My aim is create a team that is building a constant stream of affiliate sites that provide a useful purpose for people & share the profits.

The kind of person I’m looking to partner with:

Experience in building web applications with a focus on user experienceAt least 2 years experience with Ruby/PythonXHTML & CSS is a mustJQuery knowledgeData mining & MysqlExperience in designing user interfaces

So if you’re keen to potentially get involved get in touch. Please note, this will not be a full time paid position it’ll involve equity in the business.

Rather than taking your word for how good you are I’d like to put forward a quick test, I want you to create a quick skeleton site that performs the following:

Has a search box that allows a user to type in a url (i.e. www.earnersblog.com)When a user hits submit I want you to create a page around the URL in the format (http://www.yoursite.com/www.earnersblog.com)On that page I want you to pull a screenshot of my site, the meta description & show the last 5 posts below (not by parsing RSS).If you can style this & make it look pretty then that’ll earn brownie points also Once complete drop me a mail at stuart [at] earnersblog.com or leave a comment in this post.I’ll test the system with another URL to check it works.

If you can do the above in another language other than Ruby/Python give it a shot I’ll not rule out other coding languages.

Cheers guys & good luck!
