I think the latest version is at: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Code_Sprint_Guidelines The guidelines, as I recall them, tend to lean towards multi-project sprints. If you wish to request funding, I'd suggestion you prepare a fairly specific request for the board. Try to get it on the board agenda - you might want to contact Arnulf who normally chairs or perhaps Michael as secretary or just add it yourself if you see when the agenda becomes available in the wiki. Getting at least one advocate on the board would be helpful. Attending the board meeting at which it is discussed (in irc) would be prudent. Board meetings are roughly monthly and the board isn't always good at jumping on informal one time requests.
