Three developers, part-time.

And I have no idea what quality assurance and release practices were in use for SP2.

>As far as I can tell, SP2 was different from previous VFP SP's in that there was no official private beta testers site, only an indirect feedback mechanism, no beta community that has made previous releases so good. Too bad, otherwise they might have picked up on some of the issues.
