Hi, First off, Project Hosting on Google Code is only for open source software. So, you can only use it if you (and your client) are OK with other people being able to see the code and data that you put in your project.
To help you figure out the client requirements, you might try using these open source templates for project documents: http://readyset.tigris.org/nonav/templates/index.html including this one: http://readyset.tigris.org/nonav/templates/user-needs.html The sample text in those templates is optimized for student projects, but it could still be a good starting point that could make your project easier, especially if you have a hard time writing a lot of English text. For working with your friend, it is probably best to keep all source code in the version control system. The database data sounds like test data to me, and generally you should also store all test data under version control, in a plain-text file format rather than binary if possible. Thanks, jason!
