You are never going to get a perfect solution, but hopefully it will be an improvement on what it is now. A lot of programmers will not even look at a job thats worth less than $100 no matter what it is - it cost them more in time faffing around with payments, talking stuff though, uploading, downloading, testing etc than its worth for them.

The idea is that we are setting a sort of level that we think is a resonable base price for work - and if you are looking to get work for less then you can't really expect it to be of a decent standard.
