Hi all,

please let's pause this discussion at this time - I don't want to stop it 
completely, just pause.

Although I would also like to see the possibility of buying polo shirts, 
T-shirts and possibly other things, such as a mug, that could be used to 
donate the project, we must first discuss the legal status of the project 
and accounting.

Some time ago, we agreed with Tim to hand over the role of project leader - 
see http://trinity-devel.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::16035

Services that were on the original server are gradually migrated, but for 
example the "Donations" page is still unchanged. This means that donations 
work, but nowhere is it known how these donations are used.

Thanks to the fact that we received a donation of a physical machine from 
Integricloud (Tim), a donation of a virtual machine from vpsFree.org, we 
have contributors who manage mirrors, we continue to work on the project 
without having any own funds. However, it is time to discuss the situation 
and find a solution. My idea is that we should have transparent accounting 
so that we can accept donations and at the same time see what purposes 
they are used for.

Since we are currently busy preparing the release of TDE R14.0.8, I would 
like to discuss these things after the release of the new version. 
Therefore, I want to pause this discussion until then.

Cheers
