well, since I don't have OS4 or anything to run it, it's sorta hard to do upfront coding per se. (except for the modules mentionned so far that could be coded with OS 3.1 (like aspell for example was mentionned).
AS far as my schedule goes, it can vary some as the rest of my days can vary just as much :-). Per week however I can probably easily put a good 20 to 30 hours of programming (maybe more too but just at different times on different days and different weeks). morning on some days, evening and late evening on others.
In the spirit of the KISS method, I would have to advise to keep things as independant as possible. As in if there's a "reasonable way" to do something without relying on 3rd party projects, I'd vote for that (provided it doesn't mean we double the length of the project :-). but for 5% to 10% faster time because we're using that 3rd party library or binding, to me that would be almost negligeable in my vote to not use the given library or binding. This way we're well independant and have 100% control over what the 3rd party lib or binding would have done. This ultimately always ends up in faster debugging time at the end, at least it's been my observations in my other programming projects.
Equation: If TimeSavedBy3rdParty > TimeToDebug3rdParty Then UseIt Else DoNot ;-)

At least thats my take (Amon_Re correct me if I'm wrong)
That's precisely what i meant ;)
I would also point out that as this is a volunteer project the project team are going to have to take into account the time constraints involved (ie lack of time on most peoples part) as such one of the first things (probably) that needs to happen is for us to determine who is available to do any coding (from the 12 ish coders on the list) and what time they have available.
