This task has been set back a bit by other priorities, but I'm also breaking it down into a series of individual, more specific tasks.

Much back-and-forth by phone and email with Peter and Scott, culminating in a cautious decision that I should go ahead and write a formal project plan, including estimated timelines, with no final decision yet on whether the project will go ahead in the end. I'll build into the plan at least two or more stages where, if we should stop the project, we'd still have something useful.

Entering this as a task with a deadline next month.
