I recommend to add a "donate for button", and to evaluate and 
visualize how many people are donating, for a certain package. 
This might give strong evidence where to invest more time - man 
power.
In the first step the D Foundation should get all money and 
should try to use it to support the most often selected packages, 
to avoid loosing focus.
