Swell good idea. Otherwise the whole project might just have been in vain.
big issue is of course, who wants to take over. Answer is
EVERYONE!
But who is capable of taking over, and run the project further? Who are
willing?
Even, as Charles' health seems to slow the whole project considerably,
perhaps sharing the project now could help in speeding things up. That
is, you Charles could let someone take over, but still be there for
information and idea making. Yu could still convey your ideas and
thoughts on the project, to the take-over. They would then benefit from
all your hard endeavors. Should you on the other hand leave things
alone, hoping for someone to take over the day you are not here, things
will not be done. Noone will necessarily know what you intended with a
certain solution.
Coming from a programming experience, I can confirm the challenges of
taking over someone's job. Often the time and efforts it takes to
restore their whole line of thinking, guessing why they did things this
or that way, might be overwhelming. That much overwhelming, you simply
find it ten times quicker to sit down and start all over from scratch.
In reality, I do hold that would mean no new Optacon ever.
The only way to have someone really take over where you Charles might no
longer be able to perform, would be to let them be trained while you
still have the chance. That way, they will have the best foundation for
going on with the project. They still can ask all their questions, they
still can discus any ideas, and they still might draw from your
expertise - while you are still up running. Smiles.
Give it some thought.

Charles,
While you still can, you might consider turning over your notes and
schematics and other work you have done on the new Optacon to Dave Godfrey
or Rochard Oehm or somebody of your choice who could carry on for you. I
and all the rest of the list too would hate to see all your hard work lost
forever. Think about it?
We're all praying for you.
Catherine
