Hi Mingming,

I think there's probably two questions here:

(1) What is the the amount of effort required to complete the task (e.g.,
the estimated effort)
(2) What price do you want to quote to the client

Obviously the two are interconnected (i.e., if you're bad at doing #1,
you're ability to do #2 well will be low).  Which one are you asking for
assistance on?

The other thing here is to be very clear about the difference between a
quote and an estimate... and make sure the client is equally clear on the
difference.  Will save much pain down the line.

Cheers,
Andy
