I'm currently working up a project plan that's specific, and makes it easier for us to figure out whether our efforts are sustainable. The plan will include a production schedule and milestones for us to meet. That way everyone knows what they're signing up to do. Before we start asking for people to help I want to complete that step. I'm a bit behind because of other demands, but I do expect to be able to increase my dedication to this project shortly. In the meantime I'll put the current plan information up in links from the wiki [[Insight]] page. -- Paul W.
