The intent was to get an estimate of how much it would cost to bring an ARM platform to tier-1 status. The mechanics of how the money gets transmitted (and to whom) don't matter until at least a rough figure is in hand. That number, divided among interested donors, would let one calculate if it makes sense to participate. As I write this the FreeBSD Foundation donation page at https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/donate/ includes a comment entry box, which seems to invite suggestions. Thanks for reading, bob prohaska
