 The Specreduce package currently sees contribution by a few software developers

 Unfortunately, the organization is not efficient, architectural discussions are rerely

-- take the lead on Specreduce architecture, proposing solution and helping clearing road blocks;
-- manage the contribution by other developers in a timely manner.

+Here is a list of specreduce improvements and new features to be tackled in the future:
 - proper error propagation during spectral extraction,
 - build the remaining infrastructure to support wavelength calibration,
 - build the infrastructure to support flux calibration,
 - include an additional extraction method based on PSF weighting.

+The Project Manager we are planning to hire should be a senior software engineer with

+- integrating the efforts of folks based at different istitutions and with different interests
+([JWST data analysis](https://jwst-docs.stsci.edu/jwst-post-pipeline-data-analysis/jwst-data-analysis-software-packages),
+[PypeIt](https://pypeit.readthedocs.io/en/release/),

+- reviewing pull requests,
+- providing test data.
+They will also contribute significantly to the code and help craft the next set
 of priorities in collaboration with the team.
 
+The hiring committee will be composed by Cruz, Pacifici, Pickering, and Westfall, who will be able
+to judge on project management, coding, and community engagement abilities.

 ### Approximate Budget
 
-Still iterating on this...
+For an independent contractor, 25 hours a month for 12 month at $150/hour = $45,000
 
 ### Period of Performance
 
-2 years, starting May 2024
+Initial contract will be for one year. Assuming the software engineer is successful in the role, we anticipate needing 2 years of effort.
