That is the current problem.

"fee" has a bad ring to it.
Ok, this was not the appropriate word - replace it with whatever you
think is reasonable.

The donation idea is pretty good. That't pretty ok with GNU philosophy BTW.
Think of the Free Software Foundation. Ardour has a way of doing this, it
has one main developers and it seems that who contribute more to the project
have more priority in the suggestion of requested features. Of course

Agree.
At this time there is nothing on the official LilyPon
so +1
The question is : how is it used, what for, and by who ? It may sound an
odd question, but I can assure you that in France, such questions of
transparency ARE NOT that obvious. I think each list shouild have its
contributors ?

If you haven't already, have a look at Ardour's subscription page
http://ardour.org/why_subscribe
This may be a viable answer. At one time, I was a subscriber,
contributing $4.00US per month via automated paypal withdrawl. $4.00/mo
is pretty painless when you lump it in with your other busines
Hi.
I thought one could order "pieces of improvment" (it's been a long time
since I read something on it...). The idea is : I pay for my personnel
need, and the improvment is put back in the community. This question
strikes me because I've just beginning to set up shop as an editor, and
