This might be a off topic but this also seemed like a good place to ask. I have an application (several) I would like to develop. Parts of it I can do but parts I would like to outsource. I am thinking mostly of outsourcing most of my django (or similar) work and otherwise have some custom classes written. I would like to do this small bits (that is the out sourcing) at a time for many reasons but I realize there are down sides to doing this (I probably don't know all them)
I have a this specific project in mind but don't mind this topic being rather broad. I would like to read and learn more about developing software (commercial or open source) My questions How do I find programs interested in small projects. How do they expect to be paid or how should I pay. Are sites like elance.com good? What do I not know to ask? That is what should I be considering? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Very brief description of the project. The app would take GPS, Heartrate, Power(bicycle) data from a Garmin GPS and other devises and upload it to a database. After that I have several calculations and analysis of the data. Then display graphs and other statistics. This is a very brief explanation. There are several examples of similar python projects, but not web based. Granola pygarmin garmin-sync The closest web based example would be Training Peaks http://home.trainingpeaks.com/personal-edition/training-log-and-food-diary.aspx Thanks Vincent Davis 720-301-3003 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
