+1 The second approach seems interesting. But at the same time I also need to mention why there were very lack of involvement in last mouths. I think having a good understanding on the past failures will help us with a better start.
I think the main issue was having both the Rest Branch and Trunk, and people working on both. Though the REST was introduced to replace the trunk it still didn't come up to that level, and further there was very little support from the senior developers in designing how things should be going forward. I appreciate this new change but also request the key developers who know the domain to take some active part at the early stage of the project, to bring the project to a some what a working level before letting the project to finds its own way.
