Hi,
I would GLADLY donate 30-50$ each year just to see R develop, but there
needs to be a way for me to do it in a civilized manner. If the userbase of
R is over 2 million there will surely be 100,000 users who, like myself,
will happily fork out 40$ a year - would that help? you can do
I am a poor student, and would gladly donate 20ish bucks if it would
help. R continues to make me more productive. Thanks for all of the
good work!

I am sure there would be enough to employ some foundation members
full-time, pay external CSs and even protect the system in court from those
who make money off of somebody else's work and do not give back to the
