Interesting post by Tatochip on contracting on a project with ill-defined proposals. Despite my recent look into billing the project and not by the hour, this is a good example of situation where you should bill by the hour. If the requirements are non-existent (or poorly defined) then of course I would bill by the hour... at least bill by the hour in gathering the requirements to be able to create a solid proposal. A somewhat solid proposal is needed if for nothing else to provide protection for you and the client in what is expected and being paid for. Changes that are outside that scope require modification.
