However, as a programmer who has had a great deal of experience with scoping out and executing projects, I estimate that this effort would require a minimum of four programmers (perhaps as many as six, depending on how much work they were willing to take on) to consider doing. Otherwise, it could not be completed in sufficient time to do much good.(I do have paid work, a wife, and a life, you know, so I'm not available to do this full time unless you know of a very generous patron.) So, the various messages advocating that I do it all myself are simply insults and dismissals, nothing more. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
