I'll think about it ... the problem is not a technical here, it is more that we need to invest time in doing an estimate (which might be simple for some features, but quite hard for others) and we might end up with half hearted solutions when the estimation was wrong ...

Is it ?100 or ?100000 ???? to keep one Linux-VServer developer working for a week, I'd say you can roughly calculate with 1500 USD, which is below average for a senior software designer or developer .. how much time a certain feature consumes OTOH, depends on the feature, the testing required and of course, how interesting the work is ... sidenote: a rough estimate tells me that I must have spent about 120 weeks of my private (unpaid) time over the last eight years on Linux-VServer ... and I still do not regret it! :) > Just my 4 øre.... best, Herbert > Regards, > Tor Rune Skoglund > trs@sg.no
