[Adium-devl] Fwd: [Adium-feedback] Donation to Adium

[Evan Schoenberg]

This is an interesting offer... I'm sure we could find something  
shiny to do with $1000.  We could perhaps have a SponsorsOfAdium  
page, with links and information to our serious sponsors..  
networkredux, cachefly, cocoaforge... software sponsors, like  
codingmonkeys and buildfactory... and corporate sponsors, like this  
mac.hush.com.  Any thoughts?
