Question about posting + Advertising websites

Right, so as a small group of you may be aware (And those that read my signature too), I have a keen interest in porting google android to mobile devices. Now a particular topic about the Dell X50v recieved a bit of attention, and a small site grew out of it, unfortunately, my dell died and I stopped visiting the site, and the few (25) users gradually drifted away from the project.
Now i've bought a website, set up my own server, and the site is up and running (Check my signature)
Now I obviously want this to take off, and I was going to make a post in General/Hacking + Development on XDA-Devs, as pretty much every device forum has a post "I want android on X device plz!!" here.
I had a look about the Q+A sections and Rules and saw nothing forbidding this, though many forums i've frequented disallow advertising of websites unless in a specific section. I figured this would be a pretty big thing here if it took off, so I wanted people to be aware of it.
So the upshot of this question is: Should I bother creating a thread basically advertising this website?
well first advice i would give is not to crosspost, not that im saying you would, just a precaution
secondly stick to one post and update that one only
thirdly only offer the site address if you think the person needs to have it
Thanks for the help, as you can see, I have a habit of rambling! Would it be acceptable for me to write a draft of the topic here before posting it so you can offer advice?

Android Stick & Media Box Buyers Guide

I have posted an Android Stick and Set-top Box buyers guide at:
http://linuxslate.com/Guide_Android_Stick_TV_Box.html
From the point of view of this readership, it is probably very Noob-oriented, but instead of answering questions from your Friends, Parents etc., you can just point them to that article.
I will post a link back to this forum on that page, and comments/corrections/additions are requested, and can be posted in this thread.
Please don't bar/flame/shoot/etc. me for linking to my sight. I feel that this is relevant and therefor legitimate to do this.

[Q] Q about making an informal survey about XDA users

My question is partially for site moderators (this kind of thing isn't breaking any rules is it?), but anyone with feedback for me would be much appreciated.
I'm currently taking a college statistics course and have a requirement to conduct a survey as a class project (lame, I know). My question (basically the TL;DR of this post) is whether it would be appropriate to post a link to a Google Docs form or something similar for the purposes of asking some basic questions about the users of this site, with all answers being anonymous and the intention of posting the results for anyone who wants to see?
I realize that the forum already offers the option to post a poll, however it seems that you can only ask one question at a time, and I'm more interested in making a small, quick survey of say, 10-15 questions. That being said, if it would be better for me to simply make several polling posts in their respective categories, please let me know.
A few of the questions I would ask are age (broken down into several broad categories, no specifics), gender and region (North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania/Australia, etc.) in order to establish basic demographic stuff, and then questions about modding/developing habits. Some samples might be:
'What is your interest in XDA-Developers? Development, community, education, or resources for tweaking your devices'
'What kind of modifications do you usually make to your devices? Rooting, custom ROM, custom kernel, custom recovery, or more app-based customization'
'If you are a developer (and another question for end users), how long have you been involved in creating software? Days, weeks, 2-6 months, 7-12 months, 1-3 years, or even longer'
In addition to multiple-choice questions, I would ask a few more open-ended questions such as 'What brought you into the smart-device development space?'
Being only a student project, my aim is not to be too caught up in obtaining a representative sample (I realize the people willing to take such an informal survey may be very few), or attempting to make broad statements about XDA users, but merely as more of a curiosity. In addition, I will post a small analysis of the responses under the same thread, for anyone interested, but I will not submit or publish this info to any other public entity, nor will I ask for people's identifying information such as name, email, or anything else beyond basic demographics. If I receive ten responses, that's fine, if I receive a hundred, awesome.
In essence, would a post of this type be acceptable somewhere on the forums, and if so, is there a best sub-forum under which to post it? Does anyone have any feedback or criticism about this project? Thanks for any responses, and while I haven't yet been active on the forums (I believe this is my first post), I have been reading, learning, and absorbing the information on this site for some time, and have found the expertise of this user base in my own journeys in modifying my devices invaluable.

Looking to hire App consultant and contract attorney - where to post

I'm hoping a member of the community can point me in the right direction.
A company I'm working with is considering signing a contract with an app developer for a mobile app (android+ios) and a small website. I'm not familiar with the current pricing on this type of work and I'm also not familiar with the standard terms and conditions found in most master service agreements.
A few questions - Is there a forum I should post under to find a developer who is familiar with current app pricing? I want to know if we are getting a fair price.
Two, can anyone recommend an attorney for contract review, specifically an attorney who specializes/has experience with software/app development agreements.
These are both paid jobs.
Thank you.
