Yes that would be expected. I was figuring the first 2k would be the diagnostics/development
of that plan so that we would have a real idea of what the programmers think it would take. Thus
the statement of the next 5 months etc..

That sounds good save two things. We need to state what are the project run dates and what happens at or around the due date. That to say we have the deliverable for testing (beta ready), more time is needed to complete core features (alpha ready) and therefore more funds are needed, project is one hold due to features needed outside the scope of the project, etc, etc, etc...
You get the idea.
Quoting "Joshua D. Drake" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hello,
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

to:
If someone is willing to pony up 2000.00 per month for a period of atWell, if you're willing to set up some sort of escrow, I'll put in $100. I
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?
