Re: Project funding: was State of skarnet.org projects

Finding long term sponsors is a kind of sales I'm not experienced in,
but I can probably get people to contribute on a one-time or
intermittent basis. Do you have a contributions page that takes Paypal?


 I don't, for the reasons explained here:

 Also, I want to make a living, not pocket change; I want a job, not
charity. As good and well-intentioned as one-time or intermittent
donations are, as much as I would appreciate them, if they don't add up
to something I can live from, then they don't help solve the original
problem of my needing to work on paid contracts.
