[QUOTE="tomBitonti, post: 4639723, member: 13107"] Hmm, all interesting, and I empathize (I'm in a similar spot at times, I think), but largely irrelevant. As a professional, you have an understanding of your own workload, and you should not have gotten as far as you have without being able to come up with good estimates of when work can get done. Also, the bit about adding new content doesn't work. You will have new content arriving at a near continuous pace, for the next two years, at least, as books for new power sources come out, and other material as provided through the DDI. If you don't have a system for releasing updates to the SRD in pace with the new content, then you basically have a broken delivery mechanism. Now, I understand about workload (I really really do), and at times there is work that one really doesn't know when it will get done, and folks are asking for dates and estimates all of the time. At the same time, eventually, you'll have to tell folks who ask for those estimates that you don't have one, and the product will be ready when it's ready. That may mean breaking a commitment -- but the commitment has already been made and broken -- and all that is left is to either clear the air and work to re-establishing your word. Or turtle, which is basically giving up. [/QUOTE]
