[webproducers] Re: requirements changes & contracts

On a fixed price contract, make sure you have a comprehensive set of 
assumptions outlined, as well as a clear requirements and/or scope 
definition section.  Be as detailed as possible.  Add a "change order" 
policy to your contract that defines what a change is, the change order 
procedure itself and affiliated costs.
