There is an existing open source project that is very similar to what I want, you may use their source code and modify it or start from your own code.
Basically, I want a very simple message client, like an internal twitter.com.
Here is the template for what I want, I have the css ready for you to integrate.
[login to view URL]
here is a project which has source code available:
[login to view URL]
I would like to use php and mysql and have very well organized code because I intend to release this as an open source app.
Features
-user login, very basic profile
-Discussions (each button at the top is a different discussion) different discussions may have different sets of users)
-archive (shows daily chats)
-search (searches any text stored in archive by day, month or all time) by default search should search just the messages in that discussion page
- click user name to get history of their messages and user profile
- main messaging functionality
-password protection so people typing the address cant search or see messages unless they are part of the group
- easy install wizard like [login to view URL] that people can use to very easily install this on other servers. It should work like a [login to view URL] install, something automatic and simple.
## Deliverables
i will provide deatils when any coder selected on this project ,
