The ASSP website needs work. Myself and I am sure others, are more than capable of donating that time. I tried to donate to ASSP with money. I could not find out where.
Here is a problem, google search: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=donate+to+assp&aq=f&oq=&aqi= First link: http://pledgie.com/campaigns/544 180.00 !!! that went to cpanel, and not ASSP, I have never seen the cpanel guys here on the list giving anything back ever. Looking better than 6 months ago when I wanted to donate: http://sourceforge.net/donate/index.php?group_id=69172 That link should be on the main page. Later this week, I will make a donation, unless someone tells me that is not a good idea, or there is a better place to donate such funds. How much money is there in the ASSP account, and what is that money used for? Can I get a breakdown of the distribution of funds so we know where the donations are going to? -- Scott * If you contact me off list replace talklists@ with scott@ * On Nov 28, 2009, at 3:48 AM, Marco Rauchenstein wrote: > Dear ASSP community > > Please allow me to bring also another point of view to this > discussion.
