This comes up every now and then. I think a key issue for garnering community funding is whether or not the results are open sourced or not. We had this discussion a few years ago but I don't recall whether this is possible. I asked a similar question of another software vendor (Heartsome translation tools). I don't recall if it was them or you, but the problem with RTL support was in an open source library used by the product. If that is the case here, and the result of funding would be RTL enablement of an open source Java library, I would throw in a few bucks and I suspect so would a lot of other people. Thanks, gregg
