Gathering interest means one of two things with Logos:
1. They are "gathering interest" to see if there are enough people to buy the product if they produce it.
2. They are negotiating with the publisher. When they had Barth's Church Dogmatics on pre-pub, it was in the "gathering interest" mode for more than a year, even after the little meter showed sufficient interest.

"Under contract" generally is a pretty quick step from production (depending upon the difficulty of the book and the place in the que). They have inked an agreement with the publisher, have set about imbedding all of the fancy hyperlinks into the document (if it is of recent origin) or even scanning, digitizing, and proofing an out of date book prior to adding the hyperlinks. Currently, ten of my pre-pubs is under contract and four are gathering interest.
