By 8-person-months of labor time, you mean 4 people working on it on a quarter-time basis for the next 4 months?

Deadline is May 25 2018 which is less than 4 months from now. I'm planning this and talking with various consultants right now. Happy to share the details if anyone is interested.

nice homepage. i love the text on the mission page actually. why nonprofit? can you try selling this to schools? my team also embrace the "learn by writing" concept and recently launched www.dailythem.es -- we are reaching out to English as a Second Language students and schools in Asia to develop something more classroom specific because teachers just don't have time to grade enough students' essays

Sure, there are some productivity benefits of the "STFU and start writing something" part, but this post itself has a few contradicting points. If everything is wrong in some context, why should i care about writing README and tests first at all times? Say when starting a project using a new language, I don't bother writing tests because I know I'll probably revisit for a rewrite soon enough, and by then my tests will be better. It worked better for me this way. How did I know that? Hmm sometimes I stopped and asked myself what approach to take so I just STFU & take the same approach later. Oops that violated STFUDD in the first place :)
