Expected total: 12.25 +/- 5 (= 98 - 140 hrs)

Beta (? October)

Delivers a cleaned/tweaked up system and some web services connections back to the D6 site, plus an installed and integrated beta website.

1. [12] Fix bugs/do tweaks
2. [32] Add Services to sync between D6 <--> D7 sites (and future hub sites) with resilient queuing, plugable architecture
3. [12] Test, tweak, prep Beta, install, integrate

Subtotal: 6.5 +/- 3 days (= 52 - 76 hrs)

Total: 18.75 +/- 8 days (= 150 - 216 hrs)

NB: from Ed - Jim - your total time budget is 150 hrs. This gives us 3 days with a second programmer in beta phase (agreed as good idea). Bear this in mind!
