Wesley and others

I know of a fully developed system being used in Ghana and developed by locals there. Would you want to re-invent the wheel or is collaboration something you want to give a chance? I could link you guys up.

Hey, I'm still around. Yahoo seems to delay delivery of my emails, may be I should move to gmail... I'm aware of 2 companies that are building such a solution and 1 company that has already built it, and a group of developers from Coast who are planning on building it. I think it will be important to meet them and see what they have (in terms of the requirements I've listed below), what the revenue share structure is and any other important info. Below are my contributions: Problem definition: Refer to first email on this thread: Requirements: 1. Intergration in as many platforms as possible, but most important platforms for a start: Web browser, Mobile, PC/Mac Apps. 2. Open API for developers. 3. Secure: Secure trasmission of data, security of the client data, security of the server infrastructure (hardware and software). 4. Simple, predictable steps for client to make transactions. Simple registration. 5. Common look and feel of the payment UI across platforms in order to build confidence about the system in clients. E.g. a common logo. 6. Registered entity that takes responsibility of the system, customer support, ... 7. System should handle refunds or transaction rollbacks. 8. System should handle client sessions robustly. If client session is terminated, store data, and remind client when client does the next transaction. This seems simple at first but might not be so e.g: If client was subsribing for a service on mobile then battery died or something happened that caused client to go offline, then if client logged into web to use the payment system for a different product then client should be aware of the terminated mobile transaction. 9. Audit system to, among other things, keep track of un-used Serial numbers and the vendor with the serial numbers. 10. Regular back-up system and a sound disaster recovery plan. O_O

Although I've been silent on this one, I support Rad's unreservedly and go by his opinion.

Then we will know who to make the PM etc!!!

Hold your horses ladies and gentlemen. I think it is premature to
start talking about coding and source forge and it is pretty clear
everyone has not understood the problem differently! What about
problem definition? Analysis? Functionality? Design?

Man is a gregarious animal and enjoys agreement as cows will graze all the same way to the side of a hill!

AND

It is better to die in dignity than in the ignomity of ambiguous generosity!
