Re: My two cents

[Patrick Welch]

I don't know if PSPP has participated in google summer of code before, 
but if not, that may be an interesting way to attract new and eager 
young developers - who may turn into active long term developers. A 
secondary option, if Ben and the other developers do not want or need 
our financial contributions, then perhaps we could pool our financial 
contributions to hire programmers (or students - ala 'summer of code' 
style) to work on specific features that are desired. If this is 
something that the developers would be ok with, and if other users would 
be interested in donating money, I (a poor grad student :P) would also 
donate money to some communal 'make PSPP even better' project.

Just some ideas/food for thought,
