I was in the process of building quite a large project (jobs site) when something else came up and the need to outsource this project arose ... the problem I have is that outsourcing this site, which needs to be state-of-the-art jquery using a custom-built framework (which we've built and is in place already - in the form of a library) in other words the end-product will be quite a piece of valuable source-property and not something we'd like to be floating around the internet ...
The issue being that outsourcing will always bare this risk I suppose (copying your site - which they have all the source for) - I was wondering what thoughts were on how to prevent this from happening?
Was thinking perhaps one way to limit IP loss could be to outsource separate sections of the project and somehow limit access to those sections (given that they can easily be 'isolated'). If this is a normal kind of thing to do (I'm not too familiar with the management of large php-projects, but for in-house projects I have seen this approach) is there any good (free) web / linux packages for managing multiple sections of a project which different teams are working on?
Ideas are much welcomed, thanks!!
