Idea: Would it be politically possible to include a 'dontation' field in the registration, where people could key in their credit card number, expiry date and the amount they want to donate to further FreeBSD development? It should in that case include some suggestions that would tempt people to donate even if they can't donate a large amount e.g, "No amount to small, no amount to large. Certain you can't spare $10 in favour of faster SMP-developments?" If the estimated number of users is correct, and each donated $10, there'd be a cool $5M to improve FreeBSD. Eivind, who can't easily come up with the required $1M himself at the moment. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
