    from experience - quite a bit of it, actually - i'd also recommend going with something that's out of the box. that is, unless you have a small team of over-zealous developers who all have worked on large architected projects and are fully capable of collaborating, and someone who can lead the charge and keep everyone on track and work 12hr days for about 4-5 months with no major architectural changes or re-writes... then, just maybe you can do this yourself. otherwise don't bother.

    if you really need it from scratch and have a few hundred k to fund the project, then let me know.

    ps. the larger the team, the longer it will take. i did this with myself and one other friend who i've worked with for years, so there was cohesion. the secret ingredients are less people each a jack of all trades.
