I 100% agree.

It would be very difficult to decide which developer to pay for something 
because there are so many developers doing so many useful things.

But showcases are places where money could help: to print some 
documentation, to have some big posters, to have a few decent laptop 
running KDE to show, to pay travel expenses of some developers.

So hardware could help a lot. It would also be very useful if some KDE 
developer could get some unusual hardware to test KDE on it : Sun, HPUX, 
...  We could even contact directly those companies to ask them for 
hardware to test KDE on it. They don't have many things to lose.

	regards,

	Philippe
