I need your Advice..

[James Fake]

Hey fastlaners,
I am working on Freelanceful.com, a place to go find/hire/pay freelance web designers and developers. Much like Elance/oDesk... and I need your advice on a major part.

Right now, on Elance and oDesk, the process is:
1) Submit project
2) Get bids from workers
3) Pick winning bid, start project

I want to make it different for Freelanceful by:
1) Submit project
2) Workers enter a discussion board on the project page, and put in their input, answer questions, how they'll tackle jobs, give advice, etc.
3) Discussion board will close after a few days, project poster then invites the best contributing workers from the discussion to submit their proposal/price.
4) Pick winning bid, start project.


What do you think? I'm leaving out my thoughts on pros/cons for my idea of the process because I want to hear yours.

Thank you in advance,
James F.
