#22Why not just install Roundcube[1] on top of your preferred MTA? It's free and it's going to be more polished than any $500 bespoke project.

#24Just because you're not in a cubicle doesn't mean that you've escaped the Dilbert comic strip. Now that the shutdown of Google Reader is in the news, about two weeks ago, someone posted an offer on Elance for a website with a few RSS feeds posted to it. When I made a proposal asking for details, I got an e-mail essentially asking for Google Reader but with a snazzier user interface. Yup, the asking price was "less th…
They are not trying to get away with anything. They most likely don't know what they don't know (as that saying goes).

> an indian PHP dev on elance who charges $10 an hour Stereotyping much?
He's not wrong. There is already a proposal, from a indian dev. But in ASP.
ASP? As in 'not ASP.net'?
That's like trying to build a full sized bridge with raw pasta and hot glue.

Have you used elance? I've been posting multiple jobs per month for years and 90% of proposals I receive are PHP devs from India that charge ~$10/hour. That's not a bad thing. Many of those guys are highly skilled and I hire them often.
I heard a story from a friend who works in the oil industry. The Indian dev team had updated the software that controlled the oil flow from a field, but they'd introduced a bug that was losing $5000 (or barrels, memory fails me) a day somehow. They couldn't roll back to the previous version because they weren't using version control for the software. I've seen some balls ups from UK teams too fwiw, but nothing that a…

#29To be fair, we don't know the expected use and it says to state the features to be included. If you throw in non US labor rates, you might get something useful. Admittedly, I'm reaching.

A WEEK!
Think about it, there are two of you working on two maybe three pages. So you're telling me that you need more than 100 hours (because of course, it's a start up, and we're on "salary" - so yeah, overtime) to build TWO PAGES! My opinion it should take one, maybe two days max.
I don't think you guys have the drive to be working at a startup (<- heard this before)
