The people who have offered to do it for pay so far all entirely lack the skill required. Best bet to do it right is to do it myself imo, and stop wasting money on people who don't know how to do what is requested.I'm referring to going to the middleware software industry, not our friends at the Silk Road or OVDB. Just give each software house in different jurisdictions that speak different languages a few classes each to complete. They don't know how it all fits together in the end or for whom the product is intended. Then you get the product back and analyze it for fulfillment of the requirements. If it doesn't do the job, we don't have to pay for it (albeit we'd pay good money for good work, since we want "Yes Sir, No Sir, 3 Bags Full Sir" and not 20 questions.I'm sure you're a good programmer kmfkewm, and I also know the difference between a bad programmer, a good programmer and a great programmer can literally be 2 orders of magnitude, but there's a limit to how many hours there are in a day and so there's an upper limit on how productive one individual can be. That's all I'm saying. It's much much faster to read code, than it is to write it.Take GUI interface coding as an example, it's something that can take a considerable amount of time, and it isn't the most useful use of your time even though it's important to have a good one. Most programmers can code a good GUI.Just think about the idea for a while, don't dismiss it completely just yet. (:
