Eli, Yes we've made a lot of progress. We are in the code provenance phase and then I think we are pretty much done.
Paul, I think part of the problem like I mentioned is we really got to make it easier for people to give money to the PostGIS project. To me that means: Being able to support micro-donations Getting our incubation act together so our funding can fall under the OSGEO umbrella and people that need a non-profit tax umbrella of some sort can use that . As strk suggested better outlining of these tasks and realistic effort invovled to execute. For this particular case -- I think the gains are just too far down the horizon to really appreciate -- I know a year or a half doesn't seem like much but it seems like eons to many. Of course for this particular case -- this could be funneled thru the PostgreSQL non-profits since its not a PostGIS only benefit. Just some guesses.
