Donors, please pause before you make any donations. Before apportioning all of your donations to a single individual, just pause for a moment. Is Orgmode work of a single individual or a community effort. 1. Split your donation in proportion to the contribution of each contributor. a) Do you want to bear a part of hosting charges of Orgmode.org webservers? b) Do you want to support a specific individual developer. c) Do you want to show your appreciation of one of the many regulars in this list whose help and response you can take it for granted. d) Which portions of Orgmode you rely on - Outlining/Core Org, Agenda, Clocking, Exporter, Babel. Do you know the authors of these modules. e) How about people who update official and unofficial documentation and write Worg tutorials. 2. Make a targeted donation right and approach the contributor directly on how the funds can be transfer funds to him. If this not possible and you want to make an umbrella donation to the project, insist upfront on how you would like your donation to be split. Jambunathan K.
