>>I don't know the answer to those questions. My personal impression is that only a few people are working on this. They may also be working in another country where salary and cost of living are lower. There are negative implications you could make about that scenario, but to a company like that, I think the amount would be significant and worthwhile. Again, that's just my personal impression and I could be wrong.

>I know it's your personal opinion only, but to me the math doesn't seem possible. This has been going on for what, 2-3 years now? We'll say a team of 3 is working on this. For two years, that's $41,000 a year salary. I just don't see the cost benefit if you are using $250,000 as the possible gross gain.

Every business has to start somewhere. My point is that 1,000 developers within the first year or two is plausible and might produce enough revenue to keep the project going. From there it could continue to grow. I'm sure eTecnologia has bigger numbers in mind, but even a modest start may be good enough.
