Plus, as discussed previously, I think the topic of "spending sponsorship money" is one that we should task ourselves with (as a PSC) when we actually get some money.
If we want to vote on a list of potential uses for money (in the hopes that this list will loose the purse strings of potential sponsors), I would vote for an order something like this: 1) code sprints 2) documentation 3) maintainer/marketing stuff I don't have a preference on the order of the maintainer position and marketing stuff. I would just prefer to see code and doc development placed above t-shirts. Tim Again - I think shirts are cool. And if we could make some money selling shirts, I think that would be great. I just don't think spending money on shirts is the best use of limited (or hypothetical) resources.
