@jfollows,
A "government team" - - the kiss of death to any IT foray, in my early days in the 70s I witnessed the development by a team of PFYs using Cobol create an industrial payment application, weekly pay. Unfortunately it took about a month to run on the latest of ICL's 1904E's - Arrogant bunch of twits!
Heaven help us all if Crapita is selected to assist, as ex-Army I choked when they were appointed for the recruitment task.
