i have a lead on a (mostly) perl project but i can't spare the time to
do it. this is month long project, on-site in needham. pay rate was
quoted to me at $50/hour on W2.  if needed, i can assist with some of
the top level architecture/design but i won't be able to put much time
into this.  please email me if you are interested in this project. i
will be helping them find the right candidate.

here are the requirements i was given:

-----------------------------------

 They have an email system that sends email to 3000 people. They want to
add a CNN alert to this system. The technical environment is Java J2EE
Perl

We have built our own Email system that has an interface for email creation,
scheduling, list definition, personalization, sending, logging, bounce
management and several other features.

It was first written in Perl and part of it are moving to Java. We want to add
new functionality to the system to support Email Alerts. The way Email Alerts
work is that users sign up for topics on our sites and we send them emails when
content has been added to our sites related to those topics.

The first use of this project is to migrate existing functionality over from a
recent acquisition (Bitpipe). So we currently have a working version of this
but we need to solve some performance issues and scale it to support more types
of alerts.

The type of person that we need will have experience with J2EE, Perl, Oracle,
MySQL.

There is a need for:
- a web front-end see what the system is doing and make changes to sending
schedules,

- reporting to determine what went out and when as well as success of sending,

- mail assembly, different alerts will need to be sent from different sources.
So the same email body will have different templates per user. This will also
need unique content to be sent to each user based on their topic selections.

- integration with our sending engines. We use a product call eCelerity.

We need someone who can understand requirements, define an architecture and do
the development. It is very important that they provide feedback on what we are
asking to make sure things are be built correctly. We do not want someone who
builds what we ask and does not speak up if there is a better way or something
does not make sense.
