I would just like to say I like the ideas on raising money. About the T-shirt/stuffed blue ant idea, maybe it would be possible to convince an online linux store like Thinkgeek or something else to make up an abiword shirt/other items and sell them. Also, a link on the main Abiword page or under contribute to Abiword should be made to ask users who enjoy using Abiword to make a small contribution or by a T-shirt from such and such store(if the idea is liked) to help in Abiword's development.
Just another idea, Scott Rushfeldt NCSU
