Donations in cash would be good, but donations in species would be
better at this point, IMHO. That is, harddisks, monitors, laptops,
servers, ups, and all those toys that are needed to make xfce and which
tend to make developers happy. I mean, it would be nice to get Sun to
cough up a box that could be used for development.

Hardware would be easier to contribute. All that has to be done is to
send it by courier to xfce headquarters in Toulousse.
