I didn't particularly want to lead the installer project, I was picking up
the slack until someone else was interested in leading it because nobody
stepped forward. Brandon asked to stress it at the meeting because he
couldn't be there, I did, and I got given the responsibility.

If the rest of the research people also feel that your proposal is more
important to pursue right now and should be the second project instead of
the installer, I have no problem with that.
