Generating these sorts of numbers are all about what assumptions you want to make, but if you assume 50% overhead from whatever organization has to do the work to write the contract, deal with all the legal issues, route the money to people, maintain office space or benefits or whatnot, and so forth, and then figure you want three people thinking hard about this and those people make around $75 an hour, $10K pays for about 20 hours for each of those three people. That's not out of the realm of possibility. We've collectively spent far more than that on the rxgk specification, although I suspect much of that time was uncompensated or written off as some variety of overhead by a lot of different institutions. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
