Hello ;)
First of all, thank you eva, for pointing out, that alittle bit is allrea=
dy=20
being done for the european market. However, are there any advancements=20
towards the US market?
Even though this might sound arrogant, but I think, that most US youngste=
rs=20
are quite trigger happy when it gets to buying "geek stuff" and we might =
have=20
a very good chance of finding a rich, unsated market over there.
I do realize, that the initial setup would be rather hard, but since the=20
initial material seemed to come from the KDE League itself, and Andreas i=
s in=20
the US, it should be easier in my opinion.
Selling those thing, maybe only via the web, should give KDE another boos=
t,=20
simply by being present , not by imposing on people or by forcing them in=
to=20
something, but by being there.
I think , what has been shown to me by eva's URL is a great start.

Concerning the donation stuff.
Of course, we could setup a paypal account, I would be even willing to pa=
y=20
for the setup fee and the fee it costs to uphold that account, yet I am s=
ure,=20
that there will be trouble who gets to play with that money, who may have=
=20
access and so on. Do not get me wrong here, I honestly do not wish to be=20
involved in politics of the KDE core members, but I think I would do no o=
ne a=20
favour if I offered this.
Paypal is indeed a rather convinient way for anyone to donate small or ev=
en=20
large amounts of money to a specific person or "project". If somone from =
the=20
KDE League or even someone from the KDE e.v. could open such an account I=
 am=20
sure, that people would be willing to give us some money.
I am aware, that paypal excludes those who are not willing to pay somethi=
ng=20
using their credit card and maybe younger people who simply do not own on=
e=20
(yes it is uncommon in europe to own acredit card as youngster :) ).
Personally I think, that paypal would be a nice and easy way to set this =
up,=20
along with a page on kde.org that lists very much in detail how much has =
been=20
donated, wht it has been withdrawn for and how it has been used in the en=
d.
Again, I would set this up, I would pay the fees, but I think, that I wou=
ld=20
be no help if I did this.
Thank you
