Hi Christine, John and all,

I added "classes" to the interface I created here:
http://www.worknets.org/software/entrepreneurs/
and here is the source:
http://www.worknets.org/software/entrepreneurs/source.txt

And the interface refers to a CSS style sheet layout.css and I've
created a sample which John and I and others can adapt as we like:
http://www.worknets.org/software/entrepreneurs/layout.css
and thus control the appearance of the interface.

I've worked at least 8 hours so far. I can count it more exactly.

I also write what I would do next, as a minimum, which is
* to make sure that I and John and others can deliver the desired
interface and widgets.
Additionally, I *may* pursue additional particular questions
* explore how to layout the pieces of data on a web page
* explore whether and how to reduce the amount of data called (because
we sometimes we won't want to show all this data)
* see how to integrate what I've created as a widget for a simple web page
* see if I can make a widget using Tile Stack http://www.tilestack.com
* learn how to make a Facebook widget and possibly make one
* learn how to make a Ning widget and possibly make one

I propose that Social Action send me $500 for what I've done so far and
ask me to work as above. I will then do what I judge to be $500 more of
work, and if satisfied, it will send me that. And we can continue in
this way.

I propose that for John and others it work likewise. John would work
for one day (eight hours) for free and show his results. I imagine to
create a stylesheet to display as desired in the mockups:
http://www.worknets.org/wiki.cgi?SocialEntrepreneurAPI (see this page
for links to the mockups)
John would also write his further plans. If his results are useful and
his plans make sense, then Social Action would send him $500 and he
would continue, doing $500 of more work as he estimates, and if Social
Actions is satisifed, would send him that again.

I will work to ensure that I and John complete the interface and two
widgets for no more than $2,000. If John agrees, that would be $1,000 each.

I suggest the above approach, in general, because then we skip having to
agree too specifically on what we're delivering and be held to that
afterwards but simply work looking forwards to create an interface and
two widgets (and much more) as best we can.

Good night,

Andrius

Hi All-


We need a cohesive plan.  While I love the collaboration proposed by Andrius, simply going off on tangents, creating some functionality (that may or may not be part of the requirements) and then submitting it hoping for $500 doesn't really make sense to me.

I've been doing web consulting for several years now.  I think we need to treat this project as such.  Social Actions/Social Edge is our client.  The difference here is that "the community" is the consulting team.  We might have 1 or 2 people gathering requirements and translating them to a functional spec.  Once both parties (client/team) agree on proposed functionality (and cost) we can break down the project into deliverables.  Usually I work by breaking the project into deliverables and a percent of total cost paid before continuing onto next deliverable.  Does that make sense?

I fear that by continuing the way things go, Social Actions/Edge is not going to have the complete solution desired.


Thoughts?


Happy Halloween!

Hi all,

We will be following up directly with the people involved in the coming
days. There is no need to post further emails on this topic over the SA
Dev list. Thank you.

All the best,
Peter
