They say a picture is worth a thousand words so I have taken it upon myself to provide an ongoing graph and commentary on the progress of PRA.  The table below the shows both actual signatures received by Gregg Schmidt (Pra_A), at given reporting dates.  Corresponding to each date is the projected number that we need to be collecting to achieve the minimum required number of signatures (Pra_R) as well as the "overage" goals (Pra25 & Pra33) which accounts for a 25% and 33% incidence of invalid signatures.  We really need to get a little beyond the (Pra33) figure keeping in mind that all signatures need to actually be received before the deadline date of 10/03/01.

Key to PRA Signature Progress Graph and Chart

Date = Date corresponding to data in given row
Pra33
= PRA Goal to collect 33% more signatures that required to account for invalid signatures
Pra25
= PRA Goal to collect 25% more signatures that required to account for invalid signatures
Pra_R
= PRA Minimum Requirement (Assumes all signatures are valid)
Pra_A = PRA Actual figures as reported by PRA author Gregg Schmidt
Pra25% = Percent of the 400,000 signatures collected as of given Date
Pra33% = Percent of the 450,000 signatures collected as of given Date
Days Left = Number of days left before the 10/03/01 deadline
Sigs Left = Number of signatures that still need to be collected before 10/03/01 deadline
