Can you get a history on the people you are about to deal with? Hence my suggesting rentacoder. Do they keep ratings of programmers? I have worked with programmers both good and bad, and country of origin certainly _does not_ say who will be good or bad.

The developers disappeared for days on end, the code had no comments so as to pick it apart later, there was no real structure to it all and in the end, it was rebuilt from scratch. I've heard similar horror stories from people who outsourced Java and C++ projects to the near East countries - yet to hear of a success... Also worked with a developer from Pakistan who used to work on sub-contracted projects like this, then came over to the UK to earn the "proper rate". James from Imajica might bear this one out - we spent possibly 4 or 5 months repairing some of the work he left behind. Only good foreign development I've come across was from South Africa - very responsive, working in the same time zone as us, and good but speedy coding. Wouldn't go near Pakistan again!
