Early Discussion

You will email me and we'll talk to see if we should talk further.

 If you decide to continue, I will send the initial enrolment form, which you'll complete and return to me, so I can get to know your group .

Once I get the form, and know more of who you are, we'll do a couple more phone calls or emails to be sure we're of one mind on where going
      who are the responsible ones for detail decisions on your staff;
      insure that I understand what you think this will do for you;
      insure you understand how HOWWETALK works in general - no pig in a poke thingy;
      what you feel we will deliver;
      be sure I answer any questions you may have;
      generally discuss your organization, and it's communication organization structure;
      how many participants you may have;
      experience your folks have in electronic communication;
      know that a list of current participants can be requested from time to time;
            they can be by pseudo-name or all data - and scheduled thing or ad hoc requests;
            so who can request such lists - this an important matter of security;
      on questions, can users contact me direct or through an agent - this is covered in annual maintenance;
      when we are close and HOWWETALK looks good to you, I can send references and a link to my own professional web site;

Commitment Discussion

We'll agree on how you are to be billed and pay

Based on those discussions I will be able to give you a pretty solid figure on the cost of installing HOWWETALK, in your organization.

We will talk to insure you know what is needed on the task list as:
      the name of the basic group as: "allofus" or "everybody" or a name of your choice
      how the 'common participant name' - (pseudo-name) is to be structured
      what group(s) you want to use on the Base data set

You will commit to go;
      We will discuss the name of the domain - 'everybody.com' - 'allofus.net' - the fullgroup.church - etc.
            (be aware, we may have to search for an available name that meets your desire!)
      I'll send you a task list; and
      you will send the initial deposit

Base Install

When I get the task list we'll haggle a bit as to which of us does what, and we'll agree on the implementation path with dates, responsibilities, expectations, and payment methods you choose.

The 'start up' system we will be building here is as shown on the 'Overview' page.

I will build to support   -  8-10 participants &  1-2  groups

You will gather the info for the base set and

I will begin preparing the domain and the data base to hold the material you are collecting

You will send me the base data set from which I will complete the build.

I will build the base and do initial testing, and send you a final proof list which we adjust until it is OK for both of us

Then you start your core group in learning and testing HOWWETALK

We will communicate to handle questions or problems. 

Once it is working for you, we will begin to finalize the full system

Full Install

You will submit the following:
      entire set of participants
      any additional groups you desire - including the assigned participants
      the fee to lock the domain and data base

I will generate the data base which will be the 'Master' for the system, and  send you the a confirmation list for verification. 

This list will become the MASTER index of HOWWETALK.  You will be able to request copies from time to time.

I will then test the full system to see if I can break it. All WILL go well, and I'll release HOWWETALK to you!

All changes from this point will be made to this Master which I will maintain for you.

Operational

All work up to the end of the 'Base Install' section is part of the installation fees.

Any changes after this are covered under the annual maintenance, individual change fees, or as part of a discounted pre-paid package.
