Well, it is an experiment. And: given the usual Hurd timescale, it may easily take some more months for someone ``to bite''. > Anyway, the money is still there... we just have to find something to do > with it! Yes. For now, I suggest to give it time. Money you donate by definition is money you don't need yourself, so there is no value lost personally for you if it's ``sitting'' at FOSS Factory, waiting for someone to pick it up. Of course, I can understand your desire that someone should get the money after having done some work. :-) > And I think that a soon as we'll find an effective way to use the money, > more people will donate! Some other guys -- which I partly don't recognize by their nicknames -- already joined in by donating for either specific projects or for the container projects. The other points Olaf rises are very valid, of course, too. Grüße, Thomas
