I need someone to code the following:
* Given a collection of "nodes" which contain text, and
* given a collection of pairs of nodes indicating arrows,
* draw the network with dynamic layout, such that
* the user can
* * drag nodes around,
* * pin nodes in place, and
* * the network adapts its layout.
I have a specific use in mind and would describe the objective. The programmer/designer would have a free hand to meet the agreed objective.
So:
* How long "should" such a thing take?
* What tools would you use?
* How much would you charge?
* How formal would you want the spec to be?
* How formal would you want the paperwork to be?
Feel free to email me, web site in my profile, email address available through the web site. I'd be interested in seeing the discussion as to why people might think this is a completely ridiculous task specification.
Thanks!
