Sequencing Rationale - Up to Mid-2013

On the core prototyping front - we currently have 2 Machine Designers. We intend to build our team to 6 machine designers by March 2013.
When we reach 4 machine designers (Jan. 2013), we will need to recruit a Product Lead to oversee the Machine Designers.
The Product Lead is initially responsible for machine documentation, until a Documentation Director is recruited. Docmentation Director works with OSHWA on documentation standards and reports to Product Lead.
To facilitate an increasing number of contributions from remote collaborators, we will recruit a Community Manager, whose role is to lead remote developers alongside the dedicated Machine Designers. The Product Lead manages the overall development effort. 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.
