As briefly discussed on IRC with Don: the auditors already plan to
periodically publish money reports in a specific www.d.o section.
What is missing, though, is cross referencing with visual clues that
*show* work being done with donated money. We are quite good at that for
DebConf, with the final report, but we don't do that for other events
like sprints or, why not, machine installations / replacement.
Cheers.
