Sure. I think the thinking needs to be focussed on getting more development veolcity over the longer term, rather than on getting SME9 out more quickly by adding developers. I think it would be wise to get SME9 out as soon as possible, so the concentration should continue to be on verification, rather than new development. After SME9 is done the existing developers will have more time to help with recruitment and training. If you ask them to do that now, the won't be doing SME9 development. --- Charlie _______________________________________________ Discussion about project organisation and overall direction To unsubscribe, e-mail [email protected] Searchable archive at http://lists.contribs.org/mailman/public/discussion/
