If I am correct it would be a waste of my time to create an estimate.But I'm certainly willing to come up with a cost estimate after you secure commitments for the majority of my "guesstimate" of the project cost.> You can count on your first $100 from me personally and I'm> sure WSC can be convinced to pitch in as well.Thanks Dan. I know that WSC is interested so perhaps this can be a collaborative project with both WebDNA users and WSC funding the effort. I have thought about a project like this very seripusly during the past year. Although I have no estimate yet, my gut tells me that $20-25K is a more realistic figure than the $10K you gave as an example. If you can get commitments for at least half this amount I would be encouraged to think that it may be possible.Sincerely,Kenneth Grome
