I will never allow you to use the Wikimedia Foundation name to raise money for a project with no written proposal, no budget, no professionalism, just "trust us, it's a cool idea".
I wrote specifications, a budget and a full proposal for Kennisnet in February. This proposal named the developers, the roles and responsibilities, and the duration of development. The proposal, as written in February, is at http://scireview.de/temp/instantcommons_2.odt
Kennisnet was ready to approve the project as such if Wikimedia was happy with it.I believe SP has received the same document. Let me know if that is not the case.
Since then, the only major thing that has happened from my point of view is that I answered to some questions that came from SP (via Legal). For the most part, there was nothing in there that could not have been worked out as the project moves along -- see my response from April: http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/spcommittee-l/2006-April/000078.html
