Motivation

In several OSGeo projects, (potential) microdonations play an important role. A system is desired to give users and sponsors to easlity donate small amounts of money.

Proposal

A double system is proposed where microdonations are handled by the individual projects and their respective Web sites while larger sponsorship through OSGeo (see Project Sponsorship). The use of microdonations is at the discretion of the respective PSC.

Unclear

How can a sponsor earmark his/her contribution through OSGeo to a specific project?
