Install & tweak open source apps

If you are interested in doing the full project, not only this piece, give us two bids: one for this project, and a comment about your estimated charge for the full community. You have to have experience with css-based design, AJAX, and write good php code (or ruby, if that's your thing). :) To see the full scope of the entire project (*** this bid request is just for the first piece, the attached document is for the whole project, it's just an FYI ***).
