It is guaranteed that I am going to die just like anybody else. No question about that. > How long would it take to one or more of the senior developers to fully > understand the code or, at least, grab the concepts and ideas behind it? > 6 hours, 6 days, 6 months, 6 years? Less than an hour. If one person does not understand it now, it doesn't mean that all others do not undertand it too. There are solid evidences all around that many people understand . One just need to open his eyes and look around. > And what about the project's supporting structure, sites, data > repositories, new patches, new code, etc? At the sf.net, there are 4 other admins with the same privileges. sf.net will take 24 hours on the average to assign the main project manager out ot the 4 in case of my death. The access to other websites and servers are known to persons whom I trust but they elected to remain in the background. They will come forward in case I finally "bite the dust". > Would that project, if quickly mended over a knee, ever be the same? Yes. In fact, it does not need to be mended. The access to the important sites and servers only need to be done by certain persons. > During that time who would be here to support those who risked money and > reputation in their current real implementations in hospitals? They do not depend on me for support. They have created their own support. They are professionals. > A project to support real time applications, that interact and > potentially interfere with the human health, shouldn't in any case > depend on a single individual. Please ask them directly if they really are dependent on a single individual. I hope you are now feeling secured. If not, then nothing can help.
