This probably isn't going to sound very good, but $10k is about what I was estimating for my own cost to do what would be needed for development to begin (ie finish the design, review it with whoever will offer feedback, do a round or two of updates to the design, then task out the implementation). Once I scoped out about what just that would involve I gave up, it's a little more than I can take on (I guess I'm not _that_ interested in it... ;) ).
Of course, this could be done differently and people could bid on both the design and development of various pages, basically proposing each page as part of the bid (since there is only kind of a master list, and it's not complete). That might result in a more fragmented overall application, but if there is consistent enough review it doesn't have to be that way. BTW, about the enthusiasm... I think it was more for the results and the general idea than for the work to design and build the thing. Maybe also there was a misunderstanding that I would be doing everything and it would magically appear over time, and yes that would be exciting! -David On Mar 19, 2010, at 5:36 PM, Matt Warnock wrote: > I will match his $5000. > > On Fri, 2010-03-19 at 09:56 -0800, ScottA wrote: >> David, >> >> If it makes a difference, I would be willing to pledge $5000 right now to >> get this effort started.
