I would contribute to the cause in this case. Unfortunately, I don't think the old bounty system where the user promises to pay once something gets there works very well. It would be nice for the FreeBSD Foundation to take collections in escrow and offer goals stats for specific projects, but I don't think they do that for whatever reason. If something like that were to become possible, making it known via the FreeBSD VirtualBox wiki would be nice. Also a side note, USB 2.0 support would be a requirement for a project I would contribute too. USB 1.0/1.1 is not really needed IMO. -- Adam Vande More
