Agreed, we see snippets of information every few weeks and its not
amounting to much. I really think this project could do with its parts
being layed down and making what has been achieved known for the the GWN
or something similar. This could lead to other people with perhaps more
time being brought on for different parts and could considerably speed
up the process.
