Re: [lojban] Do you want to buy my time?



I fully agree.

Let's let Robin to set priorities.

I don't know who would be in charge of setting the paypal account, but once created, I will commit a fixed monthly amount.

Set up a PayPal account for the LLG. Every time it hits $550, cut robin a check and he can take a day off to do lojban work. I'd put up a recurring $5-10/ month (maybe this could be tax deductible donations?). Maybe it would have to get to $600 to cover overhead.

Each individual contributor can't put forward priorities, nothing would ever get done. Let robin use his judgment, which seems to be accurate and in ample supply.

I would love to participate, especially donating to Robin, who does so much for us, but my money goes to what I consider to be higher priorities.

Count me in, though I can't donate much.  However a lot of "not much"es can easily turn into "much" - if enough people on this list chipped in just a few dollars a month just think what it could achieve :-)  Please, everyone, have a think about how much you can spare, no matter if it's just a little.

Thanks,
