What should I do about my Web 2.0 project?

web2.0guy asked:

I have an idea for a new type of website which I believe people will truly appreciate and spend a lot of time on it. I spent almost a year working on the business plan, researching potential competitors (as there is no direct competitors as of now), working on the features, creating documents. Basically, all I need to do now is to pull up my sleeves and start coding. The problem is that I don’t have time as I have a job and a family. I estimated that it will require me more than 2 years of coding before I can release a stable version.

So, I’m thinking about selling my idea (probably very hard as I don’t want to disclose information for free), working for a potential competitor where I could manage this product or finally create an open source project where everyone could work on it. What are my other options? I would really want this project to go ahead as I think it will change the way people live experience and search the Internet.

    I have never heard of any website taking 2 years to code. How many hours per week are you planning on putting into this? I would round up maybe a friend or two to aid in the coding process. Also, maybe try to pick up a copy of Dreamweaver as this will allow you to quickly design the site and refine the code later.

    Your idea has me intrigued, but there is an issue. 2 years of coding would put your project back a long ways for Web 2.0 standards. I guess if I were you, I would go in and post on a bunch of forums for Linux, CSS, web design, internet marketing, etc. and see what kind of coalition you can get for R&D. Look at all the distros of Linux. Very rarely is it just one person designing that and now Linux is becoming a mainstream deal.

    You need lots of people in on this and 100% credit can’t go to you. If you want nothing but to sell your idea, go to an intellectual property business and sell it to them. That’s what they do, buy ideas, reformat and sell to prospective buyers.

    Release is as an opensource project. Better to have it benifit everybody then to maybe never see it come to be.
