About three weeks ago someone told me that he wanted to donate some money to Inkscape and it didn't work. As it turned out, our donation system has been broken for years, from the very beginning perhaps. Which means that the only financial support we had all these years is from Google via GsoC. Can you say that Inkscape is not moving fast forward? :) Mind you, it does work for other projects. Ardour's principal developer relies mostly on the money from monthly subscriptions and sK1 team relies mostly on money they get from adverts. But when you say: > Personally I would be _encouraged_ to further contribute to GIMP if GIMP > had someone working full time. it's vitally important to understand that this person is supposed to have leading position in the project. Otherwise it will end up in clashes.
