The first thing I think is to help out OSFlash. I see nothing wrong with Aral getting a little help. Even if things are up and running there has been lots of work to get it this far. I am going to start there. I don't have all the answers but it would be nice to see some people throw into the pot.
Possibly there is a monthly project selected to recieve the donations from the community. Or if things get big in monetary terms possibly there could be multiple projects. I think it is only fair that Open Source takes care of it's own. That way if big business does come in to take over they would have to pay people off a whole lot more than they would if people were starving :) Think of it as a Community insurance policy. So any suggestions as to how to get this started. I would think that a pay pal account be set up and monthly donations go in there. Then it gets distributed. The criteria might be that the project is active or like asdt we want to see it again active. This might attract developers to the projects. I say that this funding applies to OSFlash registered projects. It would be easiest to keep track of then. The funds could be displayed on the OSFlash website.
