First of all, I would caution about asking questions like this on a mailing list, as the discussion of hourly rates and stuff came up on another list I belong to and the moderators there obtained an opinion from a lawyer that discussing pricing in terms of specific dollar amounts in a group like this could be deemed price-fixing by the courts, which is illegal.
That having been said, one common rule of thumb seems to be to divide your annual salary as an employee by 1000, and using that as a starting point for figuring out your hourly rate. Obviously you'd need to adjust that for your local market, but that's not a bad starting point.
