[Imc-drupal-dev] Grant Proposal: 2ND DRAFT

[mark burdett]

Hi, one big thing I noticed: If folks are getting massive funding to 
work on this, the least we can ask for is that *all* the resulting work 
be released under GPL.  I only say this because it's not clear in the 
proposal; a "Drupal prototype" could just be a block box without any 
released code.

I also have a couple corrections:

assuming you are trying to list me as a drupal developer this should 
say "SF Bay Area IMC" (due to our local IMC schism ~5 years ago).

*I* am interested in continuing to work on instal profiles but my local 
IMC doesn't use Drupal and doesn't know anything about this proposal, 
so could this part be rewritten?  Otherwise I need to have Indybay look 
at this proposal, explain what Drupal and Knight Foundation are and 
what the $300K is for, and that would definitely take more than the 
one-day deadline.

thanks!
