All this pro Hungate spin ignores the fact that use of volunteers and or paying trainees on commercial projects is still considered controversial by many in the industry. Or is it anymore? The Hungate project has a long history of very acrimonious competition which produced a pretty small budget for the amount of work. Whatever the benefits to the trainees (and I am sure there are many), I would contest that such a pared to the bone piece of commercial work is not the best candidate for training the next generation of archs.
