Mark,

What is this management side you speak of?  I invision 20% going to OSGEO of
which they will
take care of the management of funds, our trac hosting etc (e.g. collection
and setting aside the remaining 80% for PostGIS related activities).

I invision dice that will be thrown when we come up with a set of ways to
spend the money and can't decide which way to 
use said funds.  If the dice fail us, like they fall under the table so we
can't see what numbers are face up, then the money sits in OSGEO coffers to
be used at a later time or for some all benefiting OSGEO
activity like the super duper OSGEO buildbot.

Am I missing something?  I'm sure I am since I try to avoid thinking too far
ahead since there are too many permutations of what can happen.

Thanks,
Regina
