But I'm looking into getting places like SUN, Novell, Intel, etc. to donate the funds. I don't think they will trust me going...Hey give it to me I'll take care of it. What I think we need is a way to have the money directed to an appropriate account that we can create. So on the donations web page there should be an option that when donated can read..This is going to ... fill in the blank with what you want it to go to. Otherwise I thought I might be able to setup a non profit donation medium. I would only take the costs of hosting a site or something similar. But it would have to be an openoffice considered official site for it to work.
I really am open to any ideas. Adam M. On Tue, 1 Mar 2005 16:22:50 -0500, Daniel Carrera <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Easy.
