Simon, I don't think we should ever turn down an offer of help. I was just suggesting that although the project is large and complex to build, we have several "existence proofs" of projects that have done this with requiring a high performance super computer. But with Apache Hadoop, maybe, just maybe....hmmm... In any case, my understanding is that the discussion around the proposal is about what is possible and impossible, especially trying to identify and resolve anything that appears impossible or implausible. I'm not trying to dismiss issues as not being worth of offers of assistance, but just trying to get us not to dwell on things that we know are not blocking issues. It is triage. In the podling itself, once the proposal is approved, we'll hash out in the project how to do it well. And this will likely require some experimentation and iteration based on the new infrastructure, as well as any offer that emerges from 3rd parties, etc., to help with things like builds. I'd welcome any help LO can offer in this area.
