Did anything happen with this? I got the impression there was general
support for it on the list, but don't see a resolution to actually do
it on
http://www.spi-inc.org/corporate/resolutions/

According to the link above, they got almost $54k of their desired
$75k and have started work. Looks like there's some preliminary
results available at http://npoacct.sfconservancy.org/

FWIW, at linux.conf.au last month, the Linux Australia council
reported donating $1300 to the project, matching their costs for the
proprietary cloud solution they're currently using.

Cheers,
