&gt; Now we need a technical writer, to handle API documentation etc.<p>Sorry, but you&#x27;ve already lost me there. That&#x27;s firmly in the &quot;nice to have&quot; camp. For example: the documentation on Sublime&#x27;s API is shoddy at best, but enough plugins still get made that I&#x27;m incredibly happy with it as a product. Your math adds up to what would be a great team, but there&#x27;s no way you can call it the bare minimum to create and maintain a great product.
