Hey Shane,
This is a tricky issue, here's me (USD):
$60/hr
$30/hr if end result becomes open sourced (no strings)
General discounts for features such as : fun,true non-profit,intelligent
employer,learning curve and it all lives on a sliding scale depending on
their ability to pay and my desire for work/money (time). Also, barter
is usually an option. Usually hovers between 30-50 and one day this will
go up :-) This is the most difficult part of the job, time estimates
and pricing. Bah. "Just give me money and I'll do stuff."
Regards,
Philip Olson
