So now SourceForge has set up a method of getting donations. I think
we should really utilize this feature, but of course we need to sort
out how first. I am thinking that it would probably be easiest and
most effective if the donations were targeted, i.e. a Pd Dev puts up a
post saying "I will do X if you give me $xxx", so it would be project
based. Then it would also sort out who gets the money. But I think it
would be great if there was a Pd general fund, then we could use that
to pay people for past work, or pay people to do work that needs to be
done, but isn't getting done.
I would love to give up my day job and devote that time to hacking on
Pd. I am sure many of you feel the same. The hard part is getting it
all set up so that its fair and effective.
