Excellent job! And, about the paypal donation idea: Why not? I'll be
more than happy to make a donation within the limitations of my budget.
It's a great product, makes my life as a network admin much easier, and
I'd like to encourage the team to continue the excellent work. 
In general I am much more willing to support a product that has proven
to be useful to me than paying up front for something that I may or may
not like. 
Open Source is a wonderful idea, and if someone wants to express their
appreciation in a materialistic way - nothing wrong with that. You guys
have to pay your bills, too - I'm sure ;-)

A few weeks ago I helped someone rescueing whatever data possible of her
virus-infected laptop. She was so impressed that I was using only Open
Source tools (a bootable Linux CD) to save her precious digital
possessions that she asked me what she could do to express her
gratitude. I asked her to make a donation to the Free Software
Foundation which she happily did. 
(I know, somewhat off-topic, just wanted to show this example that Open
Source is appreciated not only by us geeks.)
