While this is theoretically true, in practice I wouldn't want to attempt it, especially with with a project that is already chronically progress challenged.
People need to be poked and prodded sometimes and I will readily admit that Jasper is better at it than I am. However I have organized and made decisions as best as I could and when the segments are complete I will compile them into an aesthetically pleasing whole.
Also note that unlike more popular projects I can not set a hard and fast deadline and count on reams of volunteers to get the work done one way or another. We have very few editors on this project and therefore must accept their limitations as far as production speed is concerned (although encouragement always helps.)
Even so I am considering setting a preliminary deadline around the end of summer for all the individual segments. I am going to talk with people separately and try to get an idea of the necessary progress to see what will be feasible.
Finally, to all the people with completed segments, I realize that you are anxious about the release but I would urge you to refocus your energies. Start a new project and before long this will not seem so time sensitive. Not that I don't want to finish this project as quickly as possible, but you all have good enough portfolios that you don't need to need to show your segments to the world so they will see how good of an editor you are.
Anyways, I'm beginning to ramble, tomorrow I'll have more specific information.
