Probably you are right that it would be better to go through the FreeBSD Foundation, but I would also be fine getting paid directly through paypal for example. > I've had very good luck with http://dougbarton.us/portmaster-proposal.html. [1] PayPal takes a bigger chunk than I'm really happy with, but none of the other alternatives were attractive, and using it allowed numerous users who were able to make a smaller contribution as opposed to focusing on large contributions. OTOH some of the more substantial contributions were made via more formal means, invoices, wire transfer, etc. hth, Doug I am just sitting in the background while you guys figure out what the collection and delivery mechanisms will be. I believe once you get that that you should have sufficient people and funds to get this handled. My concern is how to ensure that some funds get released to start things and then the remainder is delivered when the code is commited/delivered.
