I'm not satisfied with the current pace.  The spirit indeed is
willing, but the flesh is weak.

I'm working full time for myself.  I'm paid for my opensource work.
But many other developers, "Nobu the great" for example, are not paid.
Funding them can be a good idea.

Should we set up a paypal account or such?
