A successful team is always 42. No more, no less. This is scientifically proven in Hubert M. Kalgiopolis' The Right Sized Team, a landmark study for those interested in putting together a team of the right size.

Hand in your notice, or discuss a really long holiday or leave without pay. Your a contractor, take a couple of months off!
Ask how they expect to support the project when you have completed developing it.
Don't they know there is a bus that follows every developer in a 1 man team just waiting to run them over.
If they want a major system and expect 1 person to do the job and support it then that reflects rather badly on the quality of thinking in the college. And these people are teaching, kind lends support to the old 'those who can't teach' saying

At the risk of sounding like a flippant answer:
The size of the team should be the size required to get the job done by a specific deadline.
If there is never a deadline, there never needs to be more than one person working an hour a week.
You can pursuade them to get more to accurately illustrate how much effort is required to implement all their requirements, and show much sooner they'll have it if they fund more staff.

... and a giant dead one at that! The vast majority of shark species are critically endangered and we still have d*ckhe*ds like Vic Hislop who wants to kill every last one!
You have more chance of being killed by being hit on the head by a coconut on the beach than by being taken by a shark while swimming.

ever hear the part about "stupid answers" ?
i've purchased more than a few apps where the upgrade was totally stand-alone.

Not sure why someone thought this was a stupid question, I don't see it that way at all. There are in place upgrades where the existing product is converted, and upgrade licenses which simply check that you're an owner of a previous version.
While I'm not sure how it goes with 2010, I bought an upgrade version of 2008 since I owned 2005. Installed 2005 (which I keep for some projects), then did an install of 2008 and both are installed and functioning independently. So, at least in that scenario, it wasn't an in place upgrade, just an upgrade license. Unless they've changed that, I would expect 2010 to be a similar experience.
Of course, if yours truly was a stupid question, that makes this a stupid answer. And yet, I'm strangely at peace with that.

If you want to jump on that particular bandwagon and you don't live in the US, you're going to have to wait a bit longer. Apple has announced that it won't be rolling them out until the end of May - it puts it down to higher than anticipated demand, rather than the less apetising reason that there are problems connecting to the internet with it.
