what research to do before going to a developer to create a coin?

[coinedabit]

I have thought of a new idea for a coin(like many other's yes) but i am trying to figure out what information i need to take to a developer.
Is there a checklist of any sorts i can go through/Or the stages that most coins need to go through to be created?
I know how most of the coin will work but none of the programming to it.

I am guessing that a deveoper would be happier knowing i have worked out a lot of the problems before i go to him/her.

Check that your coin doesn't exist yet

check.

If there is a place where this information is available then could someone please point me in the right direction?

cheers
