One of my ideas was to get a community fund for advertising in the 
correct publications.

I know several people have reservations about running a non-profit 
financial system around here but most of the concerns appear to have 
been based on trust issues and having someone who is willing to do the 
grunt work.

My suggestion is that we ask the people on this list who have proven 
their trustworthyness and live in strategic countries like England, 
Germany, USA, Australia to open a savings bank account which we can 
deposit funds into. The account would belong to the person who opened it 
so they would also be able to close it if it became a drain.

This would allow us to easily collect funds which we could use to 
advertise in the correct publications on a national/regional basis.

In order to find the correct pulications I would like to canvas this 
community for a list. Don't send in names yet. First we need to decide 
on what qualities we are looking for.

I am willing to collate this information and write it up into an 
official site and document (no prob for me these days).

So please don't flame me about this concept. Instead let me run with the 
ball for a while and see if I can gather some momentum. The more help 
and support I recieve from round here the better the chance is that I 
will keep the wind in my sails.
