$'s that have been donated via Paypal. I
don't know the amount but there should be at
least $1,000 available and that could be
considered as another means of paying for
this work. Again, Mike do you know what the
MapServer balance is via the donate button?<br></li><li>We are still
in 2023 - can we allocate this years'
standard budget allocation to this work or
otherwise roll it over? I'd like to know
what our options are. We've not done a good
job of taking advantage of the OSGeo funds
