First we should think what we need donations for.
For now the only expense I could think about is the domain and the server.

If someone wants, they may throw some cash, as current server is running out of memory, due to eathena's high consumption of thereof (that causes current problems with the server).
My paypal account is: platyna at platinum.edu.pl
And I need at least 2 of those (optimally 4):

if you dont mind asking, how much money is needed? Not that i would be able to pay for it all myself, but its easier working toward a definitive goal.

One chip costs 700 PLN.
No items are given as rewards for donations.
I got first donations, almost 500 PLN (after all those paypal provisions). Thanks!

1) Love the Chip In for the RAM, cool widget.
2) Has anyone considered cafepress.com and finding a certain phrase or quote to put on a shirt front and the address on the back?
3) Could I possibly get that funny phrase on the shirt in Polish?
Just learning the ropes...and a big supporter of open source, so I'm going to spread the word TMW is out there.

Fortunately or unfortunately I couldn't forget my promise.
For now I have just donated some amount to TMW through
http://sourceforge.net/project/project_ ... _id=106790
BTW, I was in Bangladesh in those early days, right now I am in Uruguay.
Have fun and enjoy.
