If I may make a prediction, you will find many requests to share the data, 
but not a lot of sources.  The data I suspect are not collected in the detail 
that you want.  Secondly, I suspect that you might want to spend some time 
improving your questions.  For example, are these questions intended to 
cover all possible projects, from one person projects to multi-person, multi 
year projects?
