I don't know if PSPP has participated in google summer of code before,
but if not, that may be an interesting way to attract new and eager
young developers - who may turn into active long term developers. A
secondary option, if Ben and the other developers do not want or need
our financial contributions, then perhaps we could pool our financial
contributions to hire programmers (or students - ala 'summer of code'
style) to work on specific features that are desired. If this is
something that the developers would be ok with, and if other users would
be interested in donating money, I (a poor grad student :P) would also
donate money to some communal 'make PSPP even better' project.
Just some ideas/food for thought,

I also would like to have many more 'SPSS' features in PSPP. But, please
remember, this is FREE, and the development is all voluntary (I couldn't even
get Ben to accept a small donation for his years of service to us).
Sure--let's request what we think would be needed, but let's remember that Ben,
John and the rest are not part of the SPSS or IBM development team.
Patience--or spend $1500 for an upgradeable package.
