Oh oh. I see that you are trying to pull me into a money thing. All right, but I guess you are aware that I have no experience in the domain. But I would be glad to give directions on what I think could be interesting to finance. In fact I believe it would be very exciting to get funding for Python in general and PyPy in particular. Alisair talked about getting academic support and linking PyPy's potentially small footprint with embedded devices -- these are exactly the two areas where I can help. The EU project I'm part of since tomorrow is all about specialization (Psyco) for embedded devices. This gives strong links, even to the point that we could consider active collaboration between the two projects, and maybe use the existing EU project to financially spawn the PyPy project. Armin
