If you mean "getting the pages to a reasonable state of completion", the truthful answer is more complicated. I don't expect the (people) pages to be particularly difficult, because we have lots of good data on births and deaths, and a few users who really like that work. I don't expect (releases) to be too difficult because we know an awful lot about that too. The most difficult of all is the (production) stuff. That might take quite a bit of time, because we haven't done that much scholarship on the ins-and-outs of hiring/firing/commissioning/cancelling. But we do have some information already and we can lay the groundwork quite quickly.

Overall, I expect the pages to be viable within no more than a day of the close of this thread, and "reasonably complete" a varying amount of time thereafter, ranging from two weeks to a year.
