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.
