Herbert,
I'd certainly be willing to kick in some $$, especially if I could get a bit of targetted help here ...
As usual, I'm in a "need it right now" mode, and I'm deploying this thing for development use even before I've got it 100% working.
The actual vservers seem to be running fantastically, just great, but the package stuff, and hence unification is giving me fits on an x86_64 platform.
I think it's because of the multi-arch requirements of x86_64, or it could just be "pilot error" (my fault).
I'd be delighted to spend $300 to either find and fix the bugs involved, or document things a bit better so that I can make vserver do all the tricks it is supposed to do.
And that's a right now firm offer!

Hi Community!
today the idea of a community fund for linux-vserver development was raised on the irc channel ...
here are some excerpts ...

| Ok. I was thinking more of a fixed amount that all of you can

now the interesting question to the broader audience of the mailing list is: would this be something the community would want to do?
without doubt, linux-vserver development could make good use of such thing, especially when the developers are able to focus on development and not the every day 'how am I going to pay my bills?' question ...
let me know what you think!
(as suggested either in public or in private)
TIA, Herbert
