Write a comprehensive spec sheet for each function you are wanting, then answer the following: * How much of the requested coding are you able to do? * How much of the requested coding are you willing to do? * How much are you willing to pay somebody else to do the requested coding? > I cannot recommend this article more highly for explaining > http://blog.oak-tree.us/index.php/2009/03/04/perfect-tool The rest of the quotes in this response are from that article. >"Programs can't be customised to the individual whims of every writer." With FLOSS, such customization can be done. The only question is whether or not the user is willing to pay for the customization that they are unable to do. >extensive use of tags that tell the program what a given piece of text is.
