What's the topic about ?
For sure, i read that Herko plan to use XOOPS users donations on impress cms project.
It seems to me that's the project you have joining, no?
So, if it's about ethics, let Herko answer.
After all, he promised transparency and reports.
If XOOPS project don't need a fundation (by the way never needed one)
people should be refunded (humm...maybe its 'administratively' to complicate for people who couldn't publish a report)
or give donations and adds funds to sourceforge, apache, etc.
Since XOOPS relays on such technologies, seems fair, don't you think?
Lets do something good and great: Lets do open source!
