FWIW, I disagree with Mat on this: Mat Wrote: > I think it is good that the subject of donations is kept somewhat in the > background when it comes to the official TW project. >
If they were any further back they'd not exist at all. :-) Mat wrote: > ... donate to specific projects. > That I agree with. Project targets & deadlines incline people to give more as its more clearly FOR something tangible. i know this from experience of having run a large charity funded project. We raised money quickly because we gave targets users were keen on, and deadlines.

There is a kind of odd culture around open source that seems to not want donation. I know in some cases that the revenue is so low its not worth the administration. In other cases, where its too upfront, a sense forms that you HAVE to donate that is off-putting. The major issue I see is that some people do have money and if you don't ask, don't make plain the need (the project need), you won't get any. Its worth a shot.
