Let's not forget the Hamakor is not currently tax-deductable, nor is it expected to be in the near future. We need, at the very least, to issue a first financial report showing activity (I'm not sure whether ~12000 sheqels a year is considered activity).Ultra-secret ultra-private channels, like Sharon uses to talk to Abu Alla. shhhhh.
If Hpaqligad can't decide who gives the money' why should we wait or be secretive about it? get 10 donors to give some dough, give them tax deductable reciepts from Hamakor and Hamakor will go buy the RAID. now it doesn't NEED to be a single donor.
OTOH, if IBM wants to give a brand new X-Series or P-Series machine with half a TB and have us stamp our site with their moniker, WHY NOT? :-)
Want me to make some calls? I don't know if it's better when such a request comes from inside IBM (our community has several ambassadors to IBMland) or from an outsider.
voosh,
Ira.
I don't even know what the other stages are.
