Sequencing Rationale - Up to Mid-2013

Machine Designers are the core developers. On the core prototyping front - we currently have 2 Machine Designers. We intend to build our team to 6 machine designers by March 2013.
Product Lead directs machine design effort. When we reach 4 machine designers (Jan. 2013), we will need to recruit a Product Lead to oversee the Machine Designers.
Documentation Director assures that documentation is produces alongside the development process. This includes video instructionals and technical documentation. Documentation Director develops a production plan for instructionals and progress videos with the Videographer. The Product Lead is responsible for machine documentation until a Documentation Director is recruited. Docmentation Director works with OSHWA on documentation standards and reports to Product Lead.
Community Manager facilitates remote contributions. To facilitate an increasing number of contributions from remote collaborators, we need this person to lead remote developers alongside the dedicated Machine Designers. The Product Lead manages the overall technical development. The Community Manager recruits high level Technical Advisors and leads hands-on development Flash Mobs.
With an active development, remote collaboration, and documentation process - an Operations Manager is recruited to negotiate all the moving parts.
Once active product development is in place, the Production Director is recruited to create a production infrastructure for bootstrap funding.
