Python Collaborator
VECSworld.com is looking to team up with a Python programmer, who will develop the XO Laptop version of Vecset, collaborating with the Java/Windows programmer, who will develop the Windows version of Vecset. Both programmers will share equally in the revenue generated by Vecset members, who elect to pay $24/year for the privilege of having access to a private room in VECSworld. Also, Vecset game designers can elect to pay $48/year for the privilege of locating their games anywhere in VECSworld, and being able to customize their game rooms.
While the Python programmer is developing Vecset, the Windows programmer will be developing the Vecscript compiler (Vecscript is the built-in scripting language included in the Windows version of Vecset). When the compiler is finished, the Windows programmer will translate relevant parts of the Python programmer's code into Java for the Windows version of Vecset.
Remuneration
If Vecset is to be a success financially, the projected user base is let's say 5000 users, at a subscriber rate of say 20 percent, or 1000 members, and let's say an additional 200 game designers who are also members. So the gross income, not including advertising revenue, equals 24 x 1000 + 48 x 200 = approx. $34,000 per year. Let's say the average time spent online per user equals 2 hours/week. That's 10,000 user-hours per week. Dividing by 24 x 7 = 168 hours in a week = approx. 60 users logged on at any one time.
The Python Collaborator will be paid 50 percent of the net income of VECSworld.com. In the above example, that would be $17,000 per year less 50 percent of VECSworld.com expenses. That's just an estimate of course, the actual amount may be less (or if Vecset is a runaway success, it could be a lot more).
