I was just looking around on the website to figure out how to make a donation, and it isn't at all obvious to me how to do that. Maybe having a link on the side bar to donations would help? There is a high "reluctance factor" to making donations. If people make a 2-3 minute effort, and it isn't immediately obvious how to give money, or it seems a pain, then they are likely to just skip it. Not that I think that this would suddenly make donations high enough to fund the project, but it certainly couldn't hurt... ~maria ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
