Quite true. I would also not look to NASA for examples of good project
management. Anyway, my point was that it sounded like people were intimidated
by the size of the task as a whole. If instead you divide it up into smaller
pieces, the whole thing seems much easier.
Anyway, at this point what we need is a few volunteers to work on
understanding the executable format for Windows binaries. Any takers?
