I haven't looked into the paypal donate thing myself, but I think I saw
that you could set it up so that a person could donate
to specifically named needs (beyond just a generic donation.) That might
be interesting -- if we could identify some specific needs and list them as
donation targets. But flightgear isn't officially a non-profit, which is
another related discussion that occasionally pops up.

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure
contains a definitive record of customers, application performance,
security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this
data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
