Hello all,
After many e-mails and comments, I made corrections to my post on the topic
of R and funding.
I hope this does a better service to the R community:

Hello dear Jaroslaw,
I strongly agree with you that the R foundation should have an easier method
of enabling people to give donations.
At the same time, I feel there is a (friendly) disagreement between us on

Hello dear Jaroslaw,
I strongly agree with you that the R foundation should have an easier method
of enabling people to give donations.

I cannot speak for the R Foundation, but you know, getting a US check
into money is roughly 20$ fees (at least in Germany, don't know the
typical Austrian conditions).
I know from organizing a conference in Germany that the only really good
