142 views not one bid, I started with an easy first job to test the board, that way the data that comes back is not from lack of ability, this job is so simple, even I, a non coder can knock up a rough working example in html. Its what I expected, the only coders I have hired in the west is when they do it for status, not normally money, though they were also well paid. A really good coder in the west will probably do it as a day job, so don't want to do it unless its something cool, not really for the money. Now one problem we have in the west is living on credit, either straight welfare, or disguised welfare, student loans or credit cards, and also the fact that many people now think its quite alright to live with your parents until you are 30, we have a poor work ethic. So coding boards are an absolute must, developing countries (east Europeans also) have a good work ethic and are prepared to work. And before anyone gets self righteous, where do you think those cheap electric goods you enjoy come from, same goes for those jeans you bought from Tesco's for 4 pounds. Its also not a matter of paying pennies on the dollar, I have paid good rates of pay for coders by western standards. What I ask for is practical for the fact I have to be prepared to hire potentially outside of the AppGameKit forums.
The other option is if AppGameKit allows web pages to be viewed within it, again, I can hire people to make web apps and port it into AppGameKit, what I want is entirely practical, and is in the long term best interest for AppGameKit, the more, and both better quality of apps made in AppGameKit, the more popular it becomes, the more revenue it makes for TGC and the more they can afford to develop it, which benefits everybody involved.
