I agree with you here. This is a really interesting looking project. Unfortunately unless it's something you're feeling passionate and altruistic about I wouldn't consider doing it in conjunction with a day-job or quitting your day job for it. I'd even be a little hesitant if I was a contractor without a steady day job. However, recent grads and people with free time just looking for something exciting to do might love this... it really does look like a fun idea. My thoughts: - Mid-March until April 30th gives a six week time-frame. Not impossible depending on the quality of the groundwork laid out by the initial team, but I'd expect those to be six very full weeks. - Assuming 40 hour work weeks, the MAX their budget supports is $52.08/hour for a single person team. Half that if you have two people. This may sound like good pay compared to the average office worker, but bear in mind that this is contract work and you likely don't have any benefits. Also bear in mind that those numbers are assuming you and your partner are the only expenses the project has (unlikely). + It's a great cause, this isn't some sleezy business proposal, it's a legitimately awesome NGO with a pretty cool idea. + They have a pretty sexy technology stack. I'm sure recruiters have lurid dreams of resumes with words like "HTML5", "Android", "IOS", and "résumé". Personally, day job notwithstanding, I'd love to do this project. Yet I simply wouldn't be able to afford to. _______________________________________________ SkullSpace Discuss Mailing List Help: http://www.skullspace.ca/wiki/index.php/Mailing_List#Discuss Archive: https://groups.google.com/group/skullspace-discuss-archive/
