I agree with Cedric and the developers having access to a Mac will certainly improve the reliability of Tryton Mac Client. > Also the Foundation has in his goal to provide the infrastructure for > the project.

It would be great if everyone in the community who uses Tryton on a Mac could make a donation (however small it may be) to the foundation and help the foundation buy a Mac Mini. The approximate cost is about $499 [1]. With Openlabs donating EUR100 for the same, the funds now needed is just EUR299. I request everyone using Tryton on OSX to consider making a donation [2] to the foundation and support the development of Tryton client on Mac.
