This sounds wonderful.  Let me know if I can help.  I am good at analysis,
where we break down fuzzy big pictures into clearly defined smaller pieces.
Choosing the big picture goal is hard.  Breaking the big picture goal into
doable pieces is merely complicated.  Plodding through all the little
incremental pieces is downright easy, boring, and tedious.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.  Also don't forget all
the people on this list who would love to throw in their two cents, will
brainstorm any idea to death, and give you a billion different conflicting
viewpoints with lots of unexpected reactions and data.

All in all, though, it sounds like fun!
