Thanks for the feedback ... the idea that these folks haven't thought things through as much as I would in their situation is scary but I guess not a deal-break

  no problem. this sounds like a heavily technical project. before jumping in to it, you should assert majority control on the direction of the project. not necessarily ownership or anything, but would you want a team of lawyers with no piloting experience flying a plane? no, the pilot should be at the wheel, making the directional decisions. such is this project. a developer should be in the lead of building an application. you're the developer, so make sure that they understand that while you'll seriously consider everything everyone says and bow to others in their areas of expertise, the final decisions lie with you because at the end of the day, you're building an application. that'll probably make you more comfortable :)

    Exactly. My biggest fear is that they will try to assert control where they do not have expertise. If they gave me the control I need to build the software correctly -- instead of just saying I have control but then making unreasonable demands later -- I would feel good about it.

      then make that clear to them, perhaps with a good employment agreement contract.
