Now what I understood you're suggesting is that instead of contracting a company or individual, the client could give the money to a Wine Foundation. How is that money going to turn into the code the client wants to have? Is the Wine Foundation going to hire Wine developers to work on such stuff? Is there enough money in development services like that to offer a stable job to any developer?
No, that's not what I was saying. I was actually referring to the comment about random paypal buttons and a lack of a real infrastructure for accepting donations.
Yeah, but Dan wasn't talking about donations. The money the German government is planning to spend will be project-bound, for someone to implement stuff they want.
