I personally believe that the idea of donation is not just about money but it is 'mainly' a sign on how the actual "users" really believe in all efforts which gave birth to Kicad and have kept it uptodate as much as possible. Perhaps the first step might be to get a list of the users who are willing to donate when possible... by a 'poll' for example. I think the length of the list will help some here on how to suggest further steps. By the way, I couldn't raise this point long ago because I am from Syria. As you may know, due to recent US sanction it is rather impossible for someone here to donate for or even purchase any foreign work mainly on the internet. But I hope you can find me a way to contribute with other Kicad users when possible. Meanwhile, big thanks to all Kicad developpers and of course to our humble friend... Jean-Pierre Charras. Kerim
