I think we would also get more donations if people knew that we are 
having to upgrade our infrastructure due to the large increase in demand 
from project users and downloaders. If we could blog about it and pass 
it along to the media we may get a little more traction with this.

A good location is the LinuxToday.com site. The last time I read up on 
its readership, they were getting around 1 million readers a day. Their 
coverage of the Linux sphere is quite good.

Cheers,

Marc
