Nice idea. How about another? WC could sell stickers with a text like "I support the FreeBSD project", and maybe even subscriptions on said stickers. Say $5 (or volunteerly more) for a sticker, and people could buy as many as they wanted. And say that WC kept $.5 for each sticker and let the rest go to a special fund that is used soley for bailing people out of work for more or less long periods of time, so that we get more manhours into the project for tasks where it's needed, but not always available. I personally have a way too nice connection to the net to consider putting money into a CD, which I don't need and which just go out of date. I could very well see myself ordering a stickers or two, from time to time. After all, what's something like $20 per year for a lot of us? And it would just be encouraged, not required, right? So not a big problem for those without money :-) /Mikael To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
