IUCN Wildlife group needs development help

Passing this forward for a good cause, hopefully some of you can help out.

The African Elephant Specialist Group (with the Asian Elephant Specialist Group) is working on the redesign of the AED to become a multi-species database, the first version of which is the African and Asian Elephant Database. With funding from USFWS we are hiring a developer to undertake the project. I've put a copy of the TOR and Functional Specification on my site, but for more information, please contact:

Diane Skinner
Programme Officer
IUCN/SSC African Elephant Specialist Group

PO Box 68200 - 00200
Nairobi, Kenya
Tel: +254-20-890605 - 12
Fax: +254-20-890615

Email: Diane.Skinner@iucn.org

Note that the deadline for applications is May 11th, 2009.

Robert,
Your links to the pdf for the specs seem circular, I keep coming back to the blog entry page for some reason. I've contacted Ms. Skinner, but I would like a little more background material.
