A while back I began seriously thinking about the possibility of nonprofit status and began researching into all sorts of grants and fundraising sources that Wine could potentially tap. Needless to say, now I have reason to dig up my notes and look into it further.
I did quite a lot of work with this for the ReactOS project and actually did all the paperwork required so I am happy to help in any way. ReactOS does not get nearly as much support as Wine does and so it mostly amounted to a waste of time and money for me. I have decided to disband the ReactOS Foundation due to this and a number of other reasons but I think the time has come for a Wine Foundation.
If Wine is every going to get the support it needs beyond CodeWeavers I think there needs to be the organization there to handle large cash donations in the event IBM (Gasp) or anyone else ever decides to join the party.
