Listen mate, I don't want to burst your bubble but a kid with no computing background is almost certainly NOT going to get ten thousand dollars just right off the bat. I will personally guarantee that this project will not succeed; do you have any experience in Systems Analysis? Systems Design? Project Management? Q&A? If you'd like the support of experienced coders who are certainly worth their salt, I would strongly advise that you initially launch this as a pro bono venture.
I think I'll call bullshit. People don't just give away ten thousand dollars for crap software that's going to turn out with five hundred thousand bugs, be unmaintainable and all-round deficient.
Also, why the fuck are you appointing what technologies you're going to use? Show me your Systems Analysis.
It's blatant obvious and amateur to decide what technologies to use before you've even begun. That is not how professional software is developed. Sure, they might pay you but it will come back to haunt you, and chances are they're lying.
What are the advantages of using sqlite against MySQL?
Why not Perl rather than PHP?
Apache? lighttpd? *nix server?
As I said, I'll be thoroughly interested if you cut the bullshit about money and license the final product under the GNU GPL. And stop being so goddamned audacious.
