As would I.

I don't assume they _are_ tightly integrated - all the article claims is 'eight people'.

These could be crack coders. Or they could be '1 guy who kinda knows VB and 7 people learning OJT'.

Just to clarify our staff consists of myself (IT Director for the Saanich SD) - I am the project lead/sponsor for the district. The eight people include: project manager, product tester/quality assurance, stakeholder business analyst and 5 strong Java programmers, including one developer who is one of the original creators of the PostgresQL database.
