Apparently, yes.

Nobody needs to rush, it is just that I think it is only fair that if someone completes the job they get paid and I only need one implementation, not 10. So I encourage people to collaborate rather than to work independently, but they're free to do so if they want.

That's also why I offer to list contact info for those busy on the project.

I want to protect myself from people who just go for the cash without any basic q&a because it will mean that a serious contender will not get a fair chance.
