I concur, if we as a community do this, it needs to be a sponsorship of
general development, and we'd need to trust the developers to do what they
think is best.

I'd be comfortable if the mandate were to:


  Make LedgerSMB trunk usable for developer-integrators deploying in light
  or pre-production scenarios. Use the sponsored time to make preparations
  for a 1.3 beta and RC cycle to follow.


Seconded - although it seems fairly likely that if we can just see a few serious sponsors then we can assume that 1.3 is achievable and development will start on 1.4?

Are you prepared to put a rough figure down at this stage?
