SketchUcation Online Services Agency IDEA!
-
Mike,
Although much work must have gone into that poll for sure, consider that there is only one option to choose. Like a yes here or a 10 dollar fee there - not to speak about different opinions. A forum poll like this is not suited for such a questionnaire. If you wish, I can create an online questionnaire that is suitable for the task.

Thanks Csaba,
I bow to your expertise. I will leave it up there for the time being as is may get some gray matter churning over.
Yes please tidy up if you have time.
Mike

OK, I have made the online survey and updated your first post.

Thanks Csaba, nice job
I have just looked it over and see that we have quite a few very positive replies. If anyone is interested in making comment on the idea please do so.
I will kick off with this comment.
I notice that the average advised Online hourly rate is $25. There is one case where an expert is willing to supply services for $15 per hour. I am wondering how it might be possible to standardise rates, even if it is possible.
I know only too well that $15 in certain countries can have as much buying power as $30 plus in the USA and Western Europe.
As I said, I am a little stumped on this and would like to hear thoughts on what is the best approach.

Well,let the "database" grow a little first. It's now late evening in Europe and early afternoon in America and a lot of regions could not chime in yet.

how can I join the expert group?
cheeersss
-
It would be a nice idea. I am here for the Italian Support Team
-
I'd also like to participate. I can see great opportunities arising out of this!
-
Is this going to be inside the current SCF forum or a seperate website?
Somehow I hope that all these side kick activities are detached from the forum.
I would like a clean Sketchup forum browsing experience without being distracted by other stuff.What is wrong with a Sketchup forum pur sang?
Wouldn't the Expert/Client concept (the internet is full of these already?) jeopardize the forum idea of people helping people ?
I would hate to see that commercialised.
Is it going to be like that? -
Very good idea
-
Chris and all,
This (if ever implemented) will have nothing to do with the forum itself. The forums are here for people to help each other, showcase their works and all that (just like so far). How exactlyit should be done, we don't know yet. The whole concept of "asking" people if there were interest was some kind of "prerequisite" anyway (so that we don't start something new without any interest so to say).
-
I see. Thanks for the explanation.

hi Guys,
Thanks for all the replies. I have been monitoring the replies on the Survey and there is an overwhelming majority in favour of the proposition, actually its 43 to 1 in favour. The one against remained anonymous!
A venture like this will in no way dilute the good will and helpfulness of the SFC, this would be impossible I think.
The survey is simply a way to determine whether or not there are SCF members that are interested in taking on contract work via the Net and transacting this via SketchUcation for guarantees of payment and fairness.
It is also a proposed venture that will in some way offer some paid employment opportunities for the SFC managers in the future.
I wish to advise that we have made substantial progress on this venture and I would like each of the members that responded positively to the survey to please forward me the email addresses that they would like me to forward more details to. We have email addresses on file but I would like to send to advised email addresses. This information can be PMd to me.
Thanks All,
Mike
