Losses over Nick's proposal: I see this: 2: thoroughly inventory the amount of time that has been put in, by all involved, somehow (probably by creating some rough guidelines and having participants self-account); this amount becomes each person's share. Shares can be called for instance "porting hours" with a standard one share per hour allocation Until "somehow" is defined, your plan is a non-starter. For the rough and ready version, if we're counting existing work too, we just pay all the money to Jarkko, and be done. That is even more KISS than than my plan, let alone yours. Far less administrative overhead. Nicholas ClarkThread Previous | Thread Next
