Re: Quoting a user manual

[Gene Kim-Eng <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

The deadline is Oct 27. That's three weeks from tomorrow. Any time that 
Chris takes to "evaluate" the job, discuss it with the client, get 
buy-in and a signed contract is that much less time there will be to 
actually do the job.

Under these circumstances, the only ways to proceed are to either assume 
the worst case - that every waking hour until the deadline will be spent 
working on the project - and estimate accordingly, or to conclude the 
project is a set up for failure and pass on it.
