1.
Is Mitopia™ open source?
 

No, it is not. Only specific portions of the source code will be released for the purpose of each specific project only. Developers will be under disclosure agreement at that stage.

 

2.

Do I have the right to use the code I develop for MitoSystems on other projects?

 

3.

Do I have to pay to become registered as a developer with MitoSystems?

 

No. We encourage developers to register so we can keep you informed of opportunities. Visit the Community portion of the site as well to interact with your peers.

 

4.
What are the expectations and legal obligations of my participation as a developer on a project?
 

Once you commit to a project we expect that you will meet the required milestones and timelines. If you have unexpected difficulties with this, you may request modification from the project coordinator at MitoSystems. If the project coordinator determines that you have misrepresented your capabilities or commitments, they reserve the right to remove you from the project and possibly from participating on future projects.

5.
How do I know how you will evaluate whether the code performs as you expected?
 

MitoSystems wants to build fair and equitable relationships with our development partners: it is in our interest to create good relations with the developer community! Each project will state the evaluation criteria. This, along with the milestones, timeline and coding standards, will give both sides an explicit and transparent set of criteria to judge the completion/acceptance of the project code.

 

6.
What if I get half of the project completed? Do I get paid for half the value of the project?
 

Developers are paid on a per-milestone basis. When the developer has completed and delivered a particular milestone, the project coordinator will review it and determine if it is acceptable. If accepted, the developer will be paid according to the terms of the agreement. Milestones which are only partially completed will not receive any payment.

7.
I live outside the United States. Can I still participate in projects? How can I be sure I will get paid and what terms/currency?
 

Yes, international developers are encouraged to participate. We will pay the US$ amount listed at the start of the project. We will not adjust for currency fluctuations incurred from the date of project award to project completion. We will pay by wire transfer or another agreed upon method.

 

8.
Why do I need a Tax ID Number?
 

Under Federal US law, MitoSystems is obligated to issue a 1099 form to independent contractors. You must supply your tax identification number to enable us to do that. For more detailed information, see "The Nolo Press Self-Employed Workers FAQ"

9.
What is your privacy policy concerning my e-mail address and other information?
 

We keep all your registered information completely confidential. For more information please see our privacy Policies.

 

10.
How does MitoSystems make money?
 

We are in the business of providing complex software solutions for customers. Special customer functionality requests which cannot currently be supported by the software are posted onto the projects section. We are able to pay developers attractive fees because end users pay us for the resulting integrated functionality.

11.
How do I update my information with MitoSystems?
 

When you Log-in you will see an option to update your personal profile information. We ask that you accurately represent your capabilities and that you do not modify your profile information specifically for each project - this practice is not supported.

 

12.
What is Mitopita™ and how can I use it for my own development applications?
 

Mitopia™ is a proprietary product and there is a plan to make it available to licensed developers in the future.

13.
Does MitoSystems use encryption?
 

Mitosystems decided to implement SSL security with a digital certificate for certain pages on this site dealing with sensitive information transfer. For example, we use SSL for the following pages:

  • Login - to encrypt password information
  • Developer Tax ID - to protect tax ID information.
  • Registration/Account Maintenance - to protect contact information and password.
  • Project development secure area (awarded developer).

Because of the significant performance penalties associated with encryption, MitoSystems does not currently encrypt other pages that do not warrant the same degree of security.

14.
Does MitoSystems use cookies?

We do not place cookies on your personal machine. We place a cookie only on our server when you log into the site. This is done so we know you are a registered developer as you navigate throughout the site. The cookie is removed from our servers when you close your browser window. No other tracking of your activities occurs.
