Sponsoring Wine, is maybe the right way to get some publicity for a wine-supporting-entity and for Wine to get some funds in. This also will not affect the reputation of Wine and is not a recommendation of Wine itself, of any such entity. Advertisements is the other alternative, which exists already on the website (CrossOver?)... Look, if you setup a commercial support list, you have to stand to it....I still think it's a problematic object....it's not about money, but reputation and maybe even legal complications.... And another point: I saw on this list the numbers going around, like $2000 and $10000 for being listed. I thought in the beginning, its a joke, but some of you took this seriously....Well, to make for you some simple calculations: Having 20 % set aside for advertisement efforts of an overall marketing budget of, lets say 10 % of sales, than you need to have this "listing on winehq" lead to $ 500,000 worth of sales.... I think that's far away from reality, friends! regards, --
