[snipped good suggestions]

Sorry to say this, but in my opinion we shouldn't accept any new 
projects at all for the next two years but instead work on improving the 
existing ones. There's enough work to do and even the time we discuss 
new projects would be better invested in discussing and solving our 
current problems.
