Hi Maverick,

OK, first of all you write your requirements spec (you read that link to
Joel's article, I take it). 

Next, you sit down with the designers and the developers and break it into
logical sections. 

Once you've done this, you discuss how long each section will take - you say
things like  "I want this bit done in a week", and they say things like "we
could maybe do it in a month if you gave us intravenous caffeine feeds and
found a way to keep us awake 24 hours a day", and you end up compromising on
"this section will take three weeks". Repeat this process for all the
sections. 

Add up the total time to do all the sections, add *at least* 50% buffer
time, and you have your schedule. Deciding on milestones is up to you and
the developers.

Cheers
Jon
