That's a reasonable thought.  We'll keep pondering :-) ...

Yes.  Incremental improvements and bug fixes are no problem for me
and my faculty co-PI to work on.  It was finding time to get the
whole package together, along with new analyses to test it, etc.,
that was the issue.  We (the faculty) still need to go through and
do a style/consistency pass on the code (the student is doing a
good job; we just believe on principle that such a package should
be gone over by more than one pair of eyes!).  But it is coming
along well.
