Idea
From the Farm Hack Website planning that's been happening, Dorn Cox came up with a design for a new type of page on the website, an organization. Here's my estimate on time/cost of hiring someone to develop it.
- Theme org profile (6 hours)
- Manage org members functionality (4 hours)
- add relationship to org field on tools (1 hour)
- Org’s tools View (6 hours)
- Org members’ forum activity View (6 hours)
- Org events attended/attending (6 hours)
- Test and deploy (8 hours) total hours: 37 hours @ $40/hour = $1,480
I think this article provides interesting background on workflow and reducing barriers to entry for posting - and is worth considering as we design the next web site improvements and integrate with other partners.
