Starting a project like picasa

Question

I am starting a new project which have an interface like picasa 3. Please let me know what all documents i have to prepare in advance before starting the project. Right now i am only developer but in the future other developers may join.

Is there any third-party components which will help me simplify the task of theming and creating buttons?

Thanks in advance,

John

Indeed your question is actually 2 questions. For things to prepare when starting a development project:

• schedule and cost estimation report (use a cost estimation software)
• project design specification
• project logical block diagram (can be UML or just Visio)
• technological feasibility report
• business presentation based on the above documents

depending on your venture model, you may be required to present your investors with further reports and presentations.
