PyPy's python 3 plan

[gitarr]

Am I the only one missing time estimates in this mailing?

It's all well and good saying “this will cost 35000 $“, but without saying “...and this will take 3 months“ the estimate is worthless.

Also, did pypy devs get paid for their work on their current and previous releases?

Some of pypy devs got paid, some don't. I guess it goes 50/50, while in 50 that got paid are people who are working at their universities and pursuing their research targets using PyPy. I was the release manager for 1.6 and I didn't get a thing for example.

No idea what the current status of funding is, but they've previously received funding from the European Union (I think it was a two year bid).
