comment from Bruce:
"make it clear not everyone has to be good at everything, esp. In a big project; some people do optics, some do software, etc."

Comment from Bruce:
"could talk about the timescale of projects (pros and cons.) If you like I could write a timeline for GPI, though it'd be good to find something with a shorter tlimeline so people don't get discouraged"

comment from Bruce:
"continue the narrative; construction, integration and test, “first light”, commissioning. Note that comissioning is a great time for students to participate!"

comment from Bruce:
"Should probably expand to be not as discouraging about faculty jobs? Some universities (who should know better) are highly prejudiced against instrument builders, but others aren't; but there' are also risks in trying to run an instrumentation program at a university that doesn't have infrastructure (as I'm finding out...)"

comment from Bruce:
"as a structural thought, should we have some sample autobiographies? (What people did, how they ended up where they are, what projects they worked on?)"
