Agree. I really like the "I did this with these tools in this amount
of time". I think I will create a form/db for people to put url,
description of site, tools used, and time it took. As I have never
worked with another programmer I have no idea if the time I take is
too much or not enough.
I think the clue is the blueprint. If you really consider what you
are going to do before you jump in, then you can get a lot done in a
hurry.
Jack and Kathy provided these urls:
http://www.primenet.com/wiredlaw/esp/q1.html
http://www.ppn.org/net98/mar/mar5.html
They are really worth a look.
As much as I prefer perl and open software, it really is a matter of
who is using the tool as Susan pointed out.
