Two things, 1) AFAICT, the main problem for a 1.9 mac version is the CRS extension. I have hacked a version that is working in vectorial mode (with sextante and geoprocesses) the limitation being that vector layers should have a unique CRS. I will upload it this afternoon [1]. 2) I have no money to make a contribution but I can test things in several macs running both 10.6, 10.5 with different architectures. [1] http://gvsigmac.blogspot.com/ ADDENDUM If the the problem is about testing, I will be more than happy testing things in Mac.
