I'd be interested to know how you intend dealing with the intellectual property side of things and what kind of contracts and non-disclosure agreements have to be written up for this kind of project. <br /> <br /> [trying to post this for my third time - the sxore catchpa is ridiculous!] Very interesting Conor – if I knew how to manage the same kind of thing there’s at least one other business idea I’d like to pursue.

At this stage Indian companies have that sorted but the Eastern Europeans and Chinese still have some learning to do. <br /> <br /> I've been doing contracts and NDAs for this kind of work for a long time, there is nothing too scary in them. It gets far more complicated when you enter the world of licensing and OEM'ing. <br /> <br /> But after all of that, the trick is to get personal recommendations, not just for suppliers but also for individuals within those companies. We've all seen someone huge like EDS get into terrible trouble due to bad speccing and over-commiting but I have had great working relationships with some of their teams. <br /> <br /> Sxore is pretty broken for me at the minute and I may ask them just to give me a DB dump of my data so I can try and script up something to import them back into the standard Wordpress comments system. It was a worthy experiment but I don't know if I can deal with the lack of control over my own data any longer, I’ve worked in the design services and professional services side of the business for most of my career so I’ve encountered most of the pitfalls at this stage.
