im a professional designer/developer with a little over a decade of experience, and i can tell you that you’re offering too little. i’m not negotiating as my plate is already very full, but quality work from a professional would require a minimum budget of around $500, and a more realistic budget of around $800 for such work. if you dont have this, then i’d suggest waiting for buddypress’ popularity to grow a bit more over the next couple months, i’m sure there will be all kinds of custom themes and plugins becoming available for small fees…
without running the risk of sounding ignorant, where can i get a copy of 2.7 so that i too can attempt this install of bbpress? from the mu.wordpress site only 2.6.5 is available and i’ve googled the 2.7 but im not finding anythign anywhere. where are you guys getting your 2.7 copies? thanks
