Project description:

To create a system of pre-paid Premium codes, which users can enter to
access our Premium services. This ties into an existing system of Affiliate
management.  Each code can be: new, used or revoked.

The operator forms allow the following actions:
 - Generate a new batch of codes.  All the codes in a batch share the
fields:
   + Start date and expiration date
   + Which affiliate (if any) these codes are related to
   + Length of time
 - Show existing batches of codes, and their statuses
 - Revoke unused codes in a batch

Entering a Premium Code will be an additional option in our payment page.
The code will be validated (vs. start date, expiration and new/used/revoked
status), and if ok, the user will be given a Premium subscription for the
right length of time, and will be associated with the right Affiliate.

To be able to work on this, you will need to install a working development
environment for iAgora on a Linux x86 PC.  Detailed instructions will be
provided for this.  You will be supervised by our main programmer (
http://www.iagora.com/~espel/index.html).


Required skills:
- Strong skills in Linux/Apache/MySQL/mod_perl web application development
- Ability to learn and work with a large pre-existing codebase.
