There are a number of us in the group, myself included, capable of 
coding the changes in whatever language that was originally used.  
We could divide up the project among our few group programmers.....

will be required with schedules and milestones.  Otherwise, it might 
take him a few years and by that time, we might have sold our 
command station.
