So would that include Earth Treasury? Some of our contributions: o Administering two neglected localization projects o Recruiting localizers o Contributing design ideas for various software, content, and textbooks o Recruiting other partners o Taking on R & D challenges such as village electricity and Internet Clearly Red Hat qualifies, and so does Google with Summer of Code projects. How about eBay, which as far as I know has only contributed cash?
