You know I find it interesting the way people start to think when it comes to 
money. There is more to it than infrastructure. If you were to read my e-mail 
about putting the money into a paypal account and deciding what registered 
OSFlash project to give the money to.

I come from the point of not having funding for my business and projects when 
I needed it. I don't think the donate button is enough. I would like to see a 
concerted effort here. Doe not anyone else see this or is everyone just 
saying this is too much work and hassle just everyone go home?

I would like to see some effort towards this. I will start by doing my part 
then from there we will see what happens.
