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.
