First I want to thank you for your time and all your efforts as the PUG meister. I'm quite certain now that contributions from the members of this list could support the hosting of the gallery. If it's really only 250e, that's well within whit I imagine our means would be. With a paypal account, an initial call to arms, a link on each month's page and the main page, and some gentle reminders on the list every few months, I'm sure we could keep up the funding with relatively little added hassle. We could have a dedicated treasurer to worry about the funding while the other meisters worry about the content. There IS also the idea that we could have a sponsor or two on the main page, but I think I like it better if it's self supported.
