From my personal IT-background experience: With a small team of fulltime dedicated programmers you can do a lot in 2 - 3 months time. I don't think they had to change the codebase that much. It's more a matter of performance and handling massive traffic load/DDOS attacks. First 8ch had to wait Watkins' hearing passed. Next -I don't know the status- they seemed to be backed someway by a military contract. Maybe would require some minor changes in the codebase. I am fairly sure they are now dotting the "i"s and crossing the "t"s. October 28th would be a suitable date regarding the possible military contract providing 8ch legitimacy: "Do you believe in coincidences?" But this is my wishful thinking. We followed Q long enough not date fagging too much. We just have to be a little more patience fren.
