I fund the things no one else will fund out of my pocket.  The rest I
wait for sponsors for.  I can only do so much, so I try to do what no
one else will do.

I'm a little confused in that most open source projects have an army of volunteer programmers as opposed to paid proframmers - or - they have a strongly interested corporate partner. Reiser 4 has extreme potantial as anyone can see and I would think that the "big boys" would want it - so - why isn't it happening?

Also - how much funding are we talking about?
