[spambayes-dev] FW: SF.NET Project Donation System

[Tim Peters]

As the project admins should already know, SourceForge is integrating a
donations system throughout their site (see the attached for a bit of
detail).

I'd like the people here working their spare-time asses off on SpamBayes to
give this some thought.  We don't *have* to give SpamBayes contributions to
the PSF, and I wouldn't object if the people doing the work here wanted to
split donations among themselves.  It probably wouldn't amount to much, but
even 100 bucks now and again can work wonders for morale.

I don't have a stake in this either way.  My employment contract forbids
doing compensated work on anything other than employer-assigned tasks, so my
fingers aren't allowed in the pie.  That's fine by me.  As a Director of the
PSF, I really appreciate that SpamBayes donations have been given to the PSF
so far, but objectively speaking I think the rationale for doing so is weak
(and the way things seem to be heading, we should probably start giving them
to Sleepycat instead <wink>).

Anyway, give it some thought over the holidays!  It's your project more than
mine, and has been for a long time.  I'll support whatever decision you
make.
