I don't know.  I mean when I program in PHP I assign a priority to each
thing and build the site up around the priority structure.  I also 
program PHP professionally and I have done a full-featured db driven
match making website (computer matching) in 3 months and I've done
a fully customizable multi-company helpdesk site with custom 
administrative features that connect to several sql servers, oracle, and mysql
in less than 2 months.  So I think you may be surprised at the volume
of work that gets done once I get started.

I work easiest to hardest though, so the coolest features like the automated
build system will get done last.  Likely the first thing will be basic
db structure and an initial import of rpm metadata into the first repository
created.

Same performance went for GIM work but it's less refined and I've spent less
time on it than I will with the sparemint site since I can do that work on PC
and don't have to compile to test.
