I hope you're giving more than a 'couple of days' notice for the start
and kick off; I was thinking about signing up but I need a little notice
as I'm very busy. ;)

The time estimates weren't the greatest.  It'd take at least 10 minutes
to type up / organise the interface of a calculator.  Then you have to
work out the semantics of all the buttons.

Those estimates were about as right as the average open source release
date prediction.  i.e. a little 'optimistic'.
