Talk:Haiku (operating system)

I can't really figure out how to add a whole new category on here, so hopefully someone will read this and add/integrate it into the Wiki.

I'd like to add this information, under the header Donating:

Since the work done by Haiku developers is done in their free time, and on their own hardware, several options exist to compensate Haiku developers (at least partially) for their work, or to help Haiku Inc. with administrative, marketing and miscellaneous expenses. Currently, there are three ways to contribute to Haiku.

1) Donating to 'Haiku code bounties': Haiku bounties aims to gather funds to target the completion of a specific part of the OS to be completed.

2) Donating directly to Haiku: will leave it up to the administration at Haiku to best decide how to make use of your donations. This is useful if you can't decide which bounty to donate to, or simply don't like the bounty choices.

3) The Dedicated Hardware Fund: seeks to accept donations that will be used to buy a particular piece of hardware that a developer at Haiku requests.

Also, please add the donating logos with links to the sites...

The Haiku bounty donate logo could go beside "Networking" and "Storage" under the development section since there are bounties for those two kits...

thnx, Karl

Wikipedia isn't an advertising service. I know it's for a good cause, but it's not really appropriate. I will add a link to your site though, as it is related, but I don't think any more than a link is really suitable. Also, could you stop hotlinking the images? It's not cool, just use mirror it with Imageshack or something. I like what you're doing though, it's a great initiative. :) --Hn 01:13, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
