Very good to hear that someone is willing to donate to the project.
Where is not yet an infrastructure in place to accept donations.  I
guess the closest would be to send money to Steve, and I do not
believe he is willing to accept it just yet.

Would you be willing to donate some time to figure out a good way for
us to handle donations?  I suspect we need to find or found a suitable
organization to handle the money, and set up a donation page with
instructions on how to donate.  Are there existing organizations we
can cooperate with?  I suspect that will save us some administrative
overhead.
