[consulting] REVISED RFP FOR DRUPAL DEVELOPER

[Brian Vuyk]

Sean,

I tend to disagree. This is educating, not skewering.

I think all who have replied have been polite and courteous, explaining 
to Mr. Williams exactly why his RFP might not attract the kind of 
attention he likely hoped. Like Matt specifically pointed out, the job 
may be doable by a shop for the indicated budget as a means to fill 
gaps, the timeline rules out just about any potential candidates.

Hopefully, this thread leads the OP to placing an RFP with deliverables 
more in line with the indicated timeline, even at a correspondingly 
reduced budget. That would give him a much better response.
