Dear fellows :)

Chris and I have had a various conversations regarding Fink INC. We are
quite sure that we could get it going as soon as the  funding has been
established. We did a rough calculation and we both guess that around
2000$ would be enough to get us started. I will transfer around 250=E2=82=
=AC
from my personal funds this week. We would like to ask the community to
donate the rest. This is of course a very tricky step and to allay any
demur you might have I am proposing the following steps.

1.) The page I am going to create (fundraiser.php) will have a text
which states clearly

a) at this point in time we are no legal none profit org yet, all
donations are made to the individual Chris Zubrzycki
b) We will offer open bookkeeping. Which means I (or Chris) will
publically display and record all donations we get. We shall display the
name, the date and the amount of the donation.
c) Ensure that those who donate now will receive a retroactive donation
receipt if that is legally possible.

Furthermore I will try to explain why we are raising funds to create
such an entity. In my eyes to mainly

a) Put Fink and all the work that pertains to Fink under a legal umbrella.
b) Have a legal basis to accept money which could be used to enhance and
ensure the necessary resources needed to keep fink running as a project.

Since the release of 0.7.1 will draw an enormous amount of attention I
would like to have this all out and ready a fews days after 0.7.1 has
been announced.

Thanks
