Wine fundraising idea

[Austin English]

Howdy,

I was reading through a GSoC thread on how people are spending their
coding money. Someone posted that they thought people should donate to
miro, the internet HDTV player. They've got a pretty neat donation
scheme, where people can 'adopt' a line of code, and get updates on
it, etc. Pretty neat:
https://www.getmiro.com/adopt/

Just food for thought, for those of y'all wanting to add $ to the
WineHQ coffers, for WineConf, or what not (*cough* test/compile farm
*cough*).

This is functionally similar to asking for people to become members of 
some sort of foundation (eg monthly or annual contribution).  It's a 
funding model that works, which is why they do it for public radio.

I think there's real potential here.
