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.
