Such donations could be used as an emergency fund in case hardware fails and needs replacement, to put out bounties on things that desperately need to get done, to bring together the group of people needed to manage the project, etc. Things that would make the project better for all. Heck, just collect it into a bank account or give it to one of the other Fedora projects. Using money is never a problem. -Chris "As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression.
