Yeah, he's a friend and very good at what he does. We worked together over a year ago. I've been talking to him for awhile about this new project but he's just too busy. I understand. Life gets in the way sometimes.

Good to know about oDesk and the like.

I am located in Bend, Oregon but moving (back) to the Bay Area very soon. So I will obviously be in a developer-rich area. (My friend/developer is located in SF.)

Thanks for your advice - it's much appreciated.

Is your friend able to help screen interview applicants? I'd get him involved as much as he's able to help, even if it's just filtering out the obnoxiously underqualified resumes at first.

I'm sure he'd be willing to help - I'll ask him.

Good idea.
