Sorry I was responding to a delete post, I realize this is only relevant to a few of the CS people

I've got a related question.

For the last year, part-time, I've been working on starting my own business. If it works out (and the science will work out, i've checked with faculty and the published background research) it will revolutionize an industry worth $2 billion every year in the USA... and as it is entirely reliant on scientific innovation there is no competition whatsoever (globally, none, zero, nothing).

In the 1-4 year term I need

1. A website capable of allowing people to upload photos and text information (it can be google forms ugly its for internal use), correlate that information with database information, perform complex stats (ideally in R which I can do myself), and spit back a nicely formatted professional report either immediately or within a few hours.

2. A website that will allow people to search, using pull down menues and text boxes, a number of pages (imagine the worlds shittiest version of a dating site where everyone only had 6 photos and a pdf on their page).

3. A very nicely formated website, with private logons, which would display graphical representations of statistical information that would be unique to each person, ideally with some kind of figures that could change in real time to display different information to the user.

How much man power would each of these things take? I'm a bit torn on whether or not to find a partner or to just stall (i'm looking at income coming in within the next 6-9 months) and higher employees so that I don't have to give up equity.

That being said the right person with the CS/business/marketing skills could really put this project on steroids.
