    Securing the future of GnuPG
    The GnuPG project is seeking donations.
    "For a critical project of this size two experienced developers are
    required for proper operation. This requires gross revenues of 120000 Euro
    per year. Unfortunately there is currently only one underpaid full time
    developer who is barely able to keep up with the work; see this blog entry
    for some background.
    " (Thanks to Paul Wise)
