Here are materials: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B6DR76NleZQsbDdTb0NZTWQwMlU

Really though I would like to know what amount I should write up an expense report for?

I can think of several things I would like to add that would still make it less than $500k.

For clean first class quality statpedia, get some real investment capital, and make this thing really happen. A nice beautiful website for an innovative project.

Seriously... what do you guys think is a reasonable equity offer for statpedia that I could get to make this thing super nice?

I want to see this thing really going.

whatever amount you think the website will cost to start, thus the name "kickstarter". it's not a place to grab whatever cash you can and run.

actually that seems to be exactly what it's for but never mind that. how are exams going?

team leader is a programmer, the project manager is important, and so is the tester. I count 7 being paid.

The project manager used to be a programmer, and he helps a lot with design. The tester is an extra 12k a year. Research and worklfow analyst is constantly taking in feedback and also helping with design.

There is enough stuff that needs to be done to keep everyone busy.

This project needs a solid structure.

Like I said.... we can keep going with our shoestring budget, and another 20k of funding to pull us through the next year.

I didn't make this budget, but if this is what the team wants, and this is what they believe statpedia needs, then I trust their decisions.

I have pages upon pages upon pages of design specifications sitting on hold because limited resources.

These support roles such as tester, and analyst make the programmers lives easier. Would I like to see the programmers getting paid the most? Yes, but they aren't asking for more, so... what do I do. I think I am just sort of approaching it as an "if it aint broken, don't fix it." type attitude about this budget.

I don't have to worry about timesheets, or making sure people developing the priority stuff, scheduling team meetings. I can just innovate, read over the code, make small changes here and there, and continue developing the big picture statpedia vision.

Right now I do tons of testing, I am constantly designing stuff, innovating, worrying about this and that. I need to start dividing up the work I do.

Everyone likes working on statpedia, because it is different and interesting, so pretty much everyone is happy with it. I put myself in for $1.

8 people developing statpedia for 300k... I would say that is about as lean as you are going to find in this world.

Do I need 8 people? Yes. I could ramp up twice that and still have more stuff to do. I have no shortage of development.

Once again... 20k will keep us starving, but they will still help me even with that much.

Really all this comes down to facilitating development speed. With more money I can scale up. With less, I can scale down. This budget can be adjusted to any amount between 20k and 2 million without me worried about how to efficiently spend the funds.

but now we can do it for 500

Ian, how have you not attracted any big investors to this idea? I mean, a user-edited stat website would definitely bring in over $300k a year operating costs with enough left over to pay back the investahahahahahaha sorry i couldn't do it
