I'm a little unclear how OpenCollective works. Do you have to
specifically donate to this goal, or does every donation made
just go to that? Furthermore, I don't really want to create an
OpenCollective account just to donate; I'd prefer to do it
directly with my Paypal. Is that possible?
Also, does anyone have an image of the supporter t-shirts? If
possible I want to donate an amount to get one of those.
