It can be done by the same people, but you have to keep good documentation. You should be able to show, after the fact, that the new firmware was written using only the spec - which means you still need to write that spec. By preference, structure the code in a radically different manner. With two groups, this can be easily accomplished by logging all communication between them. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
