we could ask for donations from people. there are many people who lurk 
on the mailing list (yes, i'm talking to you) because they are 
interested in DotGNU just waiting for their time to contribute. well 
this is a chance for them to do so. i dunno how donations will have to 
work, (ie who keeps the money, etcetc). maybe the fsf can do it. who 
knows about this stuff?

it seems like good candidates will be companies that are actually 
thinking about using DotGNU for their business. maybe this can lead to 
people pushing DotGNU to business?
