My feeling is that the number of available developers is small, and cannot be easily raised by reasonable amounts of money (ok, with 12 MEUR that's different...). I think there's an "availability pit": you can find some productive developers willing to work for free/limited additional resources/based on their own resources, you can also find (many?) productive developers if you have lots of money, but in the middle there is a gap, so transition is not smooth. It would be nice to model all this in a more formal way (I'm a behavioural ecologist, after all...), but now these are just thoughts, less than hypotheses. All the best. pc -- Paolo Cavallini, see: http://www.faunalia.it/pc _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
