The next thing to discuss is what to do with donations. Some
discussion has already taken place at Allegro.cc
<http://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/588807>.

Ideally, anybody can bring forward ideas of what to do with available
funding and it will be discussed here. However, I want to make it
clear that while I am in control of the funding, I will do only what
the majority of the Allegro project administrators as listed on
SourceForge vote to do.

So. Ideas?

Presently expressed ideas are:
- putting up a list of bounties/payment for coding tasks
- buying hardware or software for development on
- reserving money for contest prizes (SpeedHack)
- saving for a real-life meeting
- buying a domain name
- presenting Matthew Leverton with a donation as thanks for running Allegro.cc

Personally, I think the domain name idea is best. It's a simple goal
to achieve and can make the library seem more professional, and easier
to spread via word-of-mouth. Although the real-life meeting sounds
very useful, I think it's too expensive for this organization to
attempt.

Those two aside, I really prefer the hardware idea, and then the bounty idea.

The present balance on the Allegro account is $51.50.
