What The Spec?!? - The Daily WTF

What The Spec?!? - The Daily WTF

"I've noticed that there have been a lot of IT Project Portals popping up over the last few years; you know, the ones where you post a project and get bids from coders and companies all over the world. If you've ever used these before, you may have noticed that some of the proposals are ... umm ... slightly less-than professional.

But I can honestly say I've never quite seen a proposal like this (as discovered by Péter Zoltán). It's for small software e-commerce site. Here are some excerpts:

"The server is gonna be at my home, connects to the internet through satellite with fix IP"
"Softwar downloadable by anyone before he is our customer"
And there will be a button like send order ner the catalog button
Thiss will send the order for us"

Actually, it's pretty hard to pick excerpts. The whole damn thing is like that. See for yourself. "



Looks like some spec's I've been given... :|

So what did you bid?

Sad part is that when I received spec's like this I was a FTE, so didn't have much choice...

BUT being a FTE, I was able to take the spec, rework it into a usable form with the requesting user...
