I'd guess this has been thought of and just throwing in lame ideas on the off chance it's of any use and maybe it's just extra site coding work and there are legal complications, if not then are the people in charge of the foundation website/operation privvy to this list? Is Bob part of that? .... I wonder if it would gain any traction if there was a separate donation box and cheque address with a statement along the lines of The OpenBSD project leader works full time and receives no support from donations to the foundation. If you would like to also support The project leader directly then you can do so here or by sending a cheque to. _______________Made up example, Don't send here________________ Theo De Raadt The OpenBSD project leader 8101 160 Street Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T5R 2G9 _______________________________________________________________ Alternatively but perhaps more complex behind the scenes?.. a percentage box so everytime someone makes a donation they can choose a percentage of their donation to the foundation from 0%-?% that goes to support the project leader. That way I guess the project leader could choose to waive it if the foundation is ever in trouble financially should they wish so long as the site foundation site discloses that possibility for legal reasons I guess? -- KISSIS - Keep It Simple So It's Securable
