I'm willing to act as a coordinator.
This includes that we record the people that are willing to put up funds.
(It will still be a transaction between each party and Refractions for
bookkeeping purposes.)

Intevation also can test briefly and confirm that the goal has been reached.

For the PostGIS functionality for postgresql 7.2.1(!) to be in postgis cvs:
	we got about 1000 out of 2500 Candandian Dollars already committed.
	(~600 Intevation, ~400 Rod Anderson)

Anyone else interested?

If you do not want to commit in public, 
feel free to contact me personally.

Note that is only is useful if you contribute a significant amount.
We need to keep the fraction of transaction costs low.
