Thank you all for your work on Pypy! I have learned so much reading about the
work that has been done on the project, and have enjoyed lurking on this list.
According to my newbieish understanding of it, Pypy is a large RPython program
running in Python 2 that runs an interpreter for Python 2. This project would
allow the RPython program running in Python 2 to run an interpreter for 3. Do
I have this right?
yes, you are right

there is no plan at the moment. For sure, we want to be able to translate
pypy on top of pypy, so having a working py3 interpreter is a prerequisite.
I think if I were a large company interested in fronting this kind of money I
would want detailed information on how the money would be spent. How is it
that the Pypy team having access to this money will lead to an implementation
of Python 3?
The plan is to hire one (or more) of the core developers, so that they will be
able to work full time on this. We will setup a separate page to answer these
questions, including what happens if we don't raise enough money, etc.
ciao,
Anto
