Are there any PHP/MySQL developers in here who fancy some extra work?
I'm thinking about chucking the towel in on one of the long term projects I'm working on, but I don't want to leave them in the lurch cos I'm their only developer.
In terms of work, there is a fair amount - but not enough to be a full time job.
The clients know what they want, and then I just supply it - it's the big CMS thing I've been working on.
They pay is probably about market rate for what the work involves - I can't say what they would pay a new developer cos I was on a special contract, but I would guess somewhere around £10 per hour??

I'll respectfully bow out of this one. I'm quite busy at the moment (not busy enough to turn down work, but my work schedule is sorted for a while). Cheers though.
EDIT: Unless Garin and Gamefreak want to turn this into some kind of management/learning exercise, and we can split the money 3 ways. Also, we can turn it into Trainspotting and I can run off with the cash at the end.
Hahaha, thought not.

OK, Garin, gamesfreak & m_m, can you email me please. I'll give you the address of the guy you need to contact about the work. I spoke to him this morning to say that I'm definitely going to stop doing this work, and he is looking for someone new to take over.
My email is: work [at] xymail [dot] co uk

It's not that it's too big for one person, it's just that I'm finding it hard to organise freelance work such as this whilst at Uni.
With smaller projects, it's easy, cos I know I've got to do X amount of work, in Y number of weeks. Whereas with this, cos the projects are that much longer, it becomes difficult to organise.
I think I'm gonna go for bar work!
I can't really afford to sub-contract because that would still require a lot of my time to manage it all.

I'd be interested, but I'm not sure what my workload is going to be like.
What needs to be done? I'm sure the kind folk here would give you guidance at least if you're losing heart. We're like nerdy Care Bears.
EDIT: Is it just that you're stuck on something, or is it too big a job for one person?

I'd be interested, but I'd need more information about the scale of the project/what needs to be done.

Maybe, guess you can have my MSN username still, can contact me on there if you're still looking for somebody.
I would say though, you shouldn't pass off the project to anybody else unless its a last resort and you just want to get rid of them. If theres too much work, subcontract it. Passing it off to somebody else is essentially giving them the goodwill you've gained as well.
