In my personal opinion this week has been a watershed moment for this project.  If we could all work full time on this then I'm confident that we've got the necessary skills and experience to deliver PoBN and do it well.  Of course, we still do have the necessary skills and experience but things will take longer.

I don't want this to take any longer than necessary but I'm also aware that extra hands doesn't always equal appropriate progress.  We need unanimous agreement on the way forward.  I propose that the core team has a debate over the next few days and plans ahead according to our current workloads and then makes a decision on whether those timescales are acceptable. 

I'm going offline for a few days, literally to somewhere with no internet (!) but I hope to publish a statement on behalf of the team early next week about what is going to happen and when.
