We have been fortunate enough to generate just about enough to pay for Matthew for the past few years, but donations have been tailing off as we haven't put out any new releases in quite a while due to our work on 0.7, and the financial situation is actually quite precarious just now. Our hope is that with the 0.7 alpha release we will get some donations, but if anyone can contribute, now would really be the time (as there can be no guarantee that the 0.7 alpha release will generate the level of publicity we have seen for previous releases).
