CTL and the Dev Team seem to be focused on creating and releasing the Viewer Managed Marketplace (VMM). The basic concept is a whole different method of making products available for sale and delivery through the SL Marketplace. It is basically a Merchant-side modification meaning that a massive part of the software being written and modified is only ever run by Merchants; there is virtually no modification needed to the parts of Marketplace that are used by Customers. Where there is overlap, there are also very well defined interfaces that must be created and adapted.

I mention this because the infrastructure just described absolutely makes it possible to "Split" the Dev Team into two separate groups, each one focused on a single User Perspective. One group can continue enhancing and managing the Merchant-side functions such as VMM, while the other group focuses on Customer-side issues.

All it really requires is someone capable of managing a multi-team software project. There are plenty of people out there that not only have that skill, there are plenty of people with proven-under-fire track records of being able to accomplish this type of project. If Linden Lab is truly serious about paying back their investors (and I strongly suspect their investors are highly supportive of that goal) then investing in a competent manager would be a wise and frugal decision to make.

At least .. IMHO ...
