The UK JISC are a funding body. My open source project received 6 months funding and I'm half way through. We have worked carefully to ensure that sustainability is high on the agenda. We have contingency for tackling the more mundane tasks; good communications, collaborative processes and quality development tools. Design has been a fundamental part of the process. I strongly believe open development methodology only needs a small amount of quality guidance. http://www.jisc.ac.uk/ http://www.diaser.org.uk/
