This is a great idea: raise funds through donations to the OpenBeOS project,
to be spent as the active developers best see fit for promotion of the
success of the project.
Before too long, this *will* become a reality. As I understand it, OpenBeOS
is currently in the process of becoming a non-profit organization in the US.
(This is a legal tax-exempt institutional status.) Once this process is
completed, the organization will be in a position to accept and distribute
donation funds from enthusiastic supporters like us. Finally, we will all be
able to help out!
Count me in, too!
