[sdiy] Marketplace Question

[Jimmy Moore]

I have read both and still feel like this is a worthwhile project.  6,500
pages is a lot of work (~6000 person-hours by Mr. Hutchin's approximation,
though I think this is an underestimation).  However, once done.... it's
done.  Even if it were 10,000 hours, 100 people contributing 100 hours each
spread over something like 1 year sounds... completely reasonable.

And I'll be the first to sign up.
