Should newtfmpage invite voluntary subscriptions?

Topic started by rjay (@ brkfw0005.navistar.com) on Fri Apr 14 15:14:58 EDT 2000.
All times in EST +10:30 for IST.

And create discretionary money for worthwhile
projects?

This would still keep the page free, but
might help create a fund for some activities
we might want to do as a group.

I dont know of any projects right now, but I
suddenly realized that we have a huge userbase
(5000 unique users every day?) Even if 1000 of
these choose to pay an annual $10 towards a
cooperative fund, we can have 10,000$ fund
each year.

It can be used to fund worthwhile projects.
Or at least we can help the TFM admins
invest in infrastructure. If I was part of the
board of decision makers I would give a
innovator's reward of 1000$ each to the founding
fathers of the page!

Does any body have ideas? For or Against?

  If you want to contribute, do get in touch with me or bb (better for US guys). We have already been receiving contributions (and using them) informally. Thanks!
