My company is maintaining such software for a few dealers in town.
There is several man-months of work in it. Seems unrealistic to me
that one company would pay several tenthousand dollars to have this
developed, and than give it away to the rest of the world in the
spirit of sharing...
This is still a capitalist society; with a few idealists.

Anyone got -know of a databsae designed to track the company vehicle
fleet. Repairs etc.... No sence writing it if their is free bee out
there. I have better things to do with my time, but I was asked to
come up with one. Does anyone know of a site/ group whatever for
sharing this type of work? I would certainly contribute...Or is this
opensource approach a no no.?
True,perhaps fleet is bad term, I was thinking on a much smaller
scale. Not dealership, small company with 25 vehicles. Just a basic
record keeping and tracking of when and what and who got repairs and
the cost of said repairs. There MUST be many, many acceptable designs
in place all over. Perhaps if there were some mechanism in place where
people shared this type of work, we could then spend time on new and
challenging things(like something someone would pay those kind of
figure$ for) rather than being stuck in a perpetual loop as we are
separatley so to speak. But then I'm not an MVP just a rookie who
didn't want to waste a half a day on something I suspect is very
common.
Just out of curiousity with my basic description of what I need above
what would that be worth? Being underpaid as I am here in small town
america, which I enjoy living in, the company will get it for about
$100 wages from me. What would you charge?
