My gut-level reaction to the donation is that you give the donater the ability to give the developers a 'hint' at what they'd like, with the understanding that it's only a hint. [...]

Whaddya think?

I sort of agree with this. My interests are actually with things *other* than SMP (I subscribe to the "MIPS are cheaper than whitebread" theory), but hey, if suddenly we came up with a zillion bucks to hook our SMP guy back up to the life support, that'd be great. But in the background, I'll *still* be grousing about how I want SparQ drives supported. :-)

As for the "membership only" mailing lists, I think that's a going nowhere idea. Who's going to provide the answers for this list? There's a spread of talent on this list that you will *not* replicate on a closed list, so it seems that while corporate folks could sure pay for it, they wouldn't in fact get anything useful for it. I can imagine the scenario where something from the -corporate list gets copied to -current, since nobody who paid to be on the -corporate list can figure out how to deal with the problem.
