Comment (by bbjimmy):

 For haiku-inc to maintain its non-profit status all donations must go into
 the bank account. they may be collected in different ways, but they need
 to be accounted for, and the easiest way to do this id to deposit into a
 bank. then all diostributions are made bu debits to this account.

 by the way the donation indicator is now almost three weeks ouit of date.
 this is unacceptable.

 I can't believe that a group of programmers able to create such a
 beautiful operating system can believe that this is just too hard to do.

 The meter must be updated regularly ... as in once a day or once a week at
 the longest interval. This is necessary to make the project successful.
 People like winners, they bet on - read donate to - winners. The Donation
 indicator is a quick measure of our success, whether we are a winner or a
 loser. There is a correlation; the more rapidly the indicator is updated,
 the more rapidly the donations will flow in. look at the recent effort to
 help pay for travel expenses to help Jessica Hamilton get to the GsOC
 Reunion. That donation indicator was updated immediately, and the
 donations flowed in.

 People want the feed-back. With positive feed-back the wallets are opened
 easier. Without feed-back, we look too much like a looser, and the wallets
 stay closed.
