Re: please join me in a prize for CTABLES

[Jason Stover]

Thanks for the offer. For some time, I have been asking Free Software
Foundation to set up an account for PSPP to accept donations for
coding. I'm starting to think they'll never act on this. The other
alternative is for "us" (whoever that should be) to set up something
like a PayPal account, independently of FSF, to accept
donations. Though faster, this approach may suffer from an appearance
of illegitimacy and lack of oversight.

What do potential donors think of this idea? Set up something on our
own? Or wait, possibly forever, to hear from FSF?
