yeah, I dont think they have much $


So, I was wondering about funding on the level of infrastructure and
project based funding. Since we straddle so many sectors it is feasible
to consider applying for funds from the NGO, arts, and free software
sectors. The funding could be for individual projects (eg sprints),
development of the platform, sponsoring individuals to work on FM, or
content based funding (ie. writing a series of manuals). 

We could also look for infrastructure funding, but this is much rarer to
find.

ideas anyone?
