Jo,

Note that the projection is really for year two (2007).  I have no idea
how much we will accomplish by the end of this year.  Also, I think the
$170K was projected to come from 38 organizations under the 10K cap.

I am not sure where too look for the previous discussions other than the
board list archive.  I thought I had a wiki page about it, but I've looked
around a bit and can't find it.

Best regards,
