Hoi,
I have done a project and there were two parts to my project. There was the
delivery of an input method and a font for a script that did not have any
UNICODE font. At that time there was functionality for fonts. So it should
have been a shoe in. The cost of the project was relatively large.

Another point to consider is that comparing grants that include staff
compensation to grants that do not is necessarily tipping the scales.
Volunteer time is a cost too (though borne by the volunteers themselves and
not by the funder), and ignoring it in cost-benefit analysis will always

I agree with Gerard that there can be survey or reporting fatigue, though I

Hi,
The time a staff or contractor will need to discover his donation or if he
has donated is more expensive than 20 USD.
Ask him better donations, revert the vandalism and don't give the money
back, using it for some useful thing, like improving anti-vandalism tools.
