It is, yes, a project expected to last several years, though my participation (and that of students) will necessarily vary somewhat. For example, I can scarcely be making measurements here when handling YPL trips in New London, or Cornwall. At those times, there will be someone else making measurements from Hogsmeade, so you can imagine there's quite a lot of coordination involved.
Those who participate will certainly get credit in the final results. As to whether I write a paper on it: I certainly expect to contribute to portions of the project documentation, but whether I create an independent paper will depend on our findings. Though there certainly may be one in the practicalities of ensuring that students over multiple years take consistent measurements. And, of course, there's always the chance that we'll discover some new excitement in the heavens.
