Err....that's what I was kinda hoping to get from this post, well maybe not the names of the sites, you can find those thru your favourite search engine, but the experiences.

My ideal is a combination of fixed payment for hitting milestones (which can be done from anywhere), and more hourly rate with 'unknowables' - often onsite stuff.
