[fpc-pascal] Would someone be willing to build the skeleton of a simple application for me?

Hi,

I am not really sure if this type of message is appreciated on this list or 
not. I tried looking it up on the Lazarus-site, but didn't find anything on it. 
My apologies if you think I shouldn't have sent this.

Quite a few years ago I was a reasonably decent Delphi programmer. But after 
my move to Linux-only systems more than a decade ago I stopped using Pascal (I 
did try Kylix for a short while). The last couple of years I've been very busy 
building my company, so during those years I've had no time for development at 
all.

However I am beginning to feel the itch again and would like to pick up where 
I left. On top of that I'd also like to give some students of mine a simple 
dictionary application for company specific vocabulary. So I thought to combine 
both and build it myself. It seemed like a good way to get myself reacquainted 
with Pascal and in this case Lazarus. I still think it will be, but I am 
getting soacked up in work again and there's a need for the application before 
March.

So here's my request: would someone be willing to get me started by building 
the basics when given the specs? Basically it concerns a sqlite database with 
just three tables (each with four or less fields) and the interface to query 
and manipulate them. All in all probably not more than 3 forms will be needed. 
More detailed specs are available.

I think it will not take more than one or two days for an experienced 
programmer and it doesn't have to be a full product. Just something that does 
what is needed and enough to get me up and running in a short time. Polishing 
the thing later on will be a good learning project for me.

I am willing to pay for this, as long as the fee is reasonable and the 
developer doesn't have any objections to have his code made available under an 
OSS license.

Anyone interested, please contact me directly and off-list.

Sincerely,

HdV
