Just a heads up. If you haven't had custom programming done before, you may be in for a shocker.

Absolutely. People, for the most part, have no idea the amount of time involved to write even relatively simple programs. Particularly anything that parses data without a clear definition of the data rules. A sample hand history is rarely sufficient because NL is different from limit, is different if someone is all, if someone disconnects, etc, etc.

I'd be suprised if it didn't take someone close to 40 hours to figure it all out, code it, test it, and productize it into something you can fairly easily install (even if it's just a zip file you unpack). That's $2000. Then there's maintenance any time the place changes the hand histories.

If enough people put up a bounty on it on some open source network like sourceforge, you might get enough demand to fund it. Otherwise you just wait until some undergraduate CS major gets bored and does it for fun.
