Andrew, I had a set amount of money I was willing to donate myself but as far as time goes I was pretty much willing to do any of it myself if others weren't able to assist. As far as receiving the donations I guess this will be dependant on how many people order it and what sort of money was required to fill the order.
Michael, The "order CD" tab on the website links to a permanent service where you pay for postage and they send you a CD. My original intention for this as a release celebration to get people starting to use it and update their PCs over the next couple of months rather than an ongoing commitment to send out CDs. However you raise a good point, whoever it is that runs that service (the site says Peter Baker - I have seen the name before on the list I believe but unable to obtain an email address so if you're reading this, Hi) I would be interested in knowing just how many times a month/year it is used. If it is infrequent I probably wouldn't mind continuing the service for free but it it's a regular occurrence getting people to pay for their own postage is the only viable option other than the official Shipit service. I was contemplating putting this on the "Roadmap to Lucid" page as a project and going to see if anyone with access to ubuntu.org.au can put it on the front page as "News" with the contact details already supplied to the list for this project that would also be another way of getting it out there.
