Hey Reuven, and everyone.
We have worked before with programmers for that rate. none of the
programs/applications/scripts that are running on School Sucks has ever
made any problems, and have all the features we wanted thanks to these
programmers.
It also seems silly to me, that one sits at home doing nothing and will
not take a 15$/hour work and at least do SOMETHING with his time. I know I
would have taken that.
In any case, we have found a GOOD zope programmer, with many
recommandations and everything that is willing to work for that rate.
So lets close this off-topic topic and go home ;)
Thanx!
