Honestly, it would be nice to have a bit more money. I'm assuming the current money has gone to hosting on watir.com? I can think of a few things right off the bat that would be helpful - stickers, tshirts and other promotional "stuff", slices and build machines so we can make sure the tests are running in CI, I think watirbuild is dead, money to sponsor some of the testing and open source confs.
We're doing ok, but it would be nice to have some help to keep things going well and make even bigger inroads. Selenium has had the backing of google among others, Watir has been a grass roots project, but could benefit from some infusion of cash and/or resources. In the talks I've given on Watir, I've payed my own way, but that does come with a cost.
