I'm in an odd situation where our programmer resources probably

but web
development or much UI development in Perl is not the direction
technology
and tools are going and we don't have time to work on it.
The reality is that I'm going to end up hiring somebody to write it or
contract it out. I'm not constrained by what my staff knows or what
we have
developed in previously. It's a catch 22... I can't base my
decision on
what the skills of the person doing the programming since that person
doesn't exist until I decide what language/platform we will program
in.
I have started building out the requirements document independent of
the
language and doing a lot of the things you talk about (thanks for
the list
of things to cover).
Given my lack of constraints and the ability to start from scratch,
do you
have opinions one way or another?
If it is one project then <plug shameless="true">just hire mediaRAIN ( http://mediarain.com/
) to do the project for you.</plug>
