I imagine for a big project like this, refunds could be given. I think its more a matter of finding someone to deal with this. Id be happy to do it, but i think it would be best if Ken or another core developer that everyone knows and already trusts is in charge of holding the cash. Any Ideas Ken?
I wouldn't expect anyone to give money until someone (me?) decides to move forward with the project. As of right now it looks like we have about $1k pledged in small increments, so it definitelt looks like there is interest. If some of the "heavy hitters" come in, this project might take off sooner rather than later.
I would bet that if a "Fund Cyrus Replication" link were made prominently on the cyrus homepage, 3-5k could be raised in less than a month.
I can't control this. that would be up to Derrick or someone else at CMU. I can do whatever I want with the HTTP server at my location, if somebody can point me at some HTML/PHP/Java/Perl/etc code which I cxan put in place quickly.
P.S. Ken, not sure if this would be easier or more complex, but another alternative here might be to write a mysql backend to cyrus, which would eliminate the need to worry about redundancy given mysql's multimaster functionality (this might also provide better searching/sort/access and enormous scaleability to the cyrus backends).
I think this would cause performance to suffer greatly. I think what we want is "lazy" replication, where the client gets instant results from the machine its connected to, and the replication is done in the background. I believe this is what David's implementation does.
Question: Are people looking at this as both redundancy and performance, or just redundance?

Hello All,
I would be willing to pay for this function. Though I am just a startup, and
have very little capital. Most I could prolly do is $100 to $200. Not much.
My fear, which maybe the fear of others is the risk of putting money in, but
there not being enough support by others to reach the cash goal. Thus the
project never is done. What happens in that case ?
Thanks,

What do people think about a bounty program like horde's:
http://www.horde.org/bounties/
Basically people can make paypal donations to fund certain features. For something like the high availability support, Im guessing that ALOT of people would donate small to large amounts of cash to see this functionality implemented ( i certainly would).
What do you all think?
