How much time are you looking for? I would be interested if this could be done in a few hours per week in addition to my full-time position in the School of Social Work. I am a server administrator and web developer for the Minnesota Center Against Violence and abuse. In this and previous positions I have had ample experience designing and implementing databases in MySQL, developing and designing websites using PHP, HTML, and Javascript, and administering e-mail services, including distribution and discussion lists, for the Center's use.

I look forward to hearing for you. If you need someone for more time than I can provide, I'd be happy to pass the word on to another skilled developer who can.
