Only those residents whose income is high enough such that 30% of their family's monthly income is greater than the FMR are not eligible.

MetaL has been used in real world applications since the beginning of its development. However, it was decided that it would be released as an Open Source project only when the proof of concept is made. The proof of concept consists of generating the same program in different target languages from the same MetaL source code. The proof of concept was made in early 2002 by generating either in PHP and in Java a class and a test program to generate arbitrary XML documents.

The progress of the Metastorage project is also recorded in a XML/RSS based feed available on the URL below. This feed includes not only the newly added features, but also the features that were added to the to do list. If you use a browser capable of rendering XML documents with XSL, you can see a list of projects items sorted by the date when they were updated. The items that are marked as done as those that are already implemented.
