Hi Jim,

We just released this proposal to the public:
http://www.nvaccess.org/proposals/preparing_NVDA_for_East_Asia.html
Note that this has very specific costing, rather than the general overall figures I gave you. How we handle this again depends on the situation and organisations we're dealing with, as well as the criticality of the feature and likelihood of it being funded otherwise.

Hi Jamie,
This is what I am thinking of. Kickstarter.com is a site that does crowd 
sourcing. The project I was going to pick was the one for automated testing, 
since, from my point of view, it would make the entire process of moving NVDA 
forward much more efficient, no matter what other project I might pick would be 
once it's done. Based on your response, I would use 75 USD per hour for one 
developer. I would take what the page I know about says, and I forget, but I 
think it was something like three weeks, but I'd check on that. Then I'd build 
the project proposal, and see what happens. If it gets funded, they release the 
money. If it fails, I tried.

One last question. Would you happen to have any grant proposals that you've 
used in the past?

Thanks.

Hi Jim,

First, it's important to understand that any grants/contracts would be
for NV Access (the non-profit company we run and work for), rather than
us individually. You may be aware of this already, but I just wanted to
clarify this point. What we charge includes overhead to keep everything
running and which will hopefully sustain NV Access beyond individual
items of work.

The amount we charge depends somewhat on the organisation involved and
the nature of the agreement. To give you some idea, for a philanthropic
type grant, we might charge $75 an hour, perhaps less for certain
cases.
For a for-profit company contracting us to do something specific,
however, we might charge $150-$200 an hour, since they benefit directly
from the work.

Hi,

For Jamie/Mick: How much can I say that I need to fund you guys for

one

hour? I am going to put together a proposal for one of the projects
listed on the page about future desires, so I want to say that you

guys

work for 8 hours a day, five days a week. Does that make sense to

you?


Thanks.
