The team is constantly being approached to undertake work external to the development roadmap. We need to assess the value of this work in terms of what it is we need to achieve in 2006-2007 under our current funding budget and if it is determined that it is worthwhile taking on this work then how we go about costing these development. Things to consider in costing:

• rates
• impact on current development? - publicity, increase usage
• available resources

Also I think we need somewhere to talk about post-May development. I think that we possibly could sustain a reconfigured team of some sort, but we'd need to think seriously about how that might look. -- BrentSimpson DateTime(2006-11-21T01:55:44Z)?
