I'm aware of that. Previously, several people have expressed interest in
providing financial support for a JDK 1.3, whereas the current FreeBSD Java
effort isn't set up to accept it.
Cosource is already set up to accept credit card donations of any amount,
allows people to express their financial interest before making a final
commitment, and guarantees that the contributors ultimately get what they
pay for.
Once the pile of money reaches a threshold level, one of two things will
happen: an independent party will grab the pile, or FreeBSD Inc. will be
able to use the pile to hire a contractor to finish the job.
Either way works for me. But, like I said, get the word out. The more
people know about this, the better chance it has of working.
