Kat,
can I recommend that you WRITE down all your requirements, with **as =
much detail as possible**, for the application you need. By =
requirements, I stress that this is not the same as a description of how =
its going to achieve its 'magic', instead its a description of what the =
application needs to be able to do or deliver. You may need to spell =
out, in detail, any limitations that would apply too - such as it must =
run in a Linux (Debian-preferred) environment, etc...
Publish the Requirements Specification for scrutiny and comment, then =
update it in light of the feedback you get. Publish the updated version =
and then see if anyone here is capable of creating the application.
My feeling is that this will be a lot of work to develop correctly, so =
it may be difficult for people to donate much time. For example, $US500 =
would normally buy about 5 hours of my time at commercial rates and I =
suspect that the application you describe would eat up at least 200 =
hours.
