Except I'm not sure this would be legal under non-profit law, unless you're very careful. There's an issue that funds can't be used to pay someone the equivilent of a 'wage' in this way. Donations must go into a central pot, and can't be specified for bounty #263 for example. I would suggest asking for legal advice if you you want to persue this, I can try and dig out the previous stuff we got as well. Neil -- <gwolf> bah.... Germans.
