O.k. here are my thoughts on how this could work:
Command Prompt will set up an escrow account online at www.escrow.com.
When the Escrow account totals 2000.00 and is released, Command Prompt will dedicate a
programmer for one month to debugging, documenting, reviewing, digging, crying,
screaming, begging and bleeding with the code. At the end of the month and probably during
depending on how everything goes Command Prompt will release its findings. The findings
will include a project plan on moving forward over the next 5 months (if that is what it takes) to
produce the first functional pg_upgrade.
If the project is deemed as moving in the right direction by the community members and specifically
the core members we will setup milestone payments for the project.
What does everyone think?
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake

Well, if you're willing to set up some sort of escrow, I'll put in $100. I
Is that $100 times once, or $100 X 6mos anticiapated develop time.
That's $100 once. And last I looked, there are well over 1800 subscribers on
this list alone. On the astronomically small chance everyone one of them did
what I'm doing, it would cover more than 6 months of development time ;-) This
strikes me as like supporting public radio. The individuals do some, and the
corporations do a bunch.
I'm just putting my money toward a great product, rather than complaining that
it's not done. Just like Joshua is doing. You cannot hire a competent
programmer for $24k a year, so he is putting up some money on this also.
There have been a couple of other bytes from small businesses, so who knows!
You game?
