Exactly.

If anyone deserves money it would be DT. I think it would be great if they had a PayPal account that we could send a few bucks to now and then so at least they could buy pizza and beer to consume, or computers and hardware they wore out while they worked on IL2.

Hey Jumo, I find your suggestion very noble, but as far as I know DT is a team with members all around the world, so maybe could be very hard to divide money between them. Not imposible, but not an easy task. I guess there are about 20 members of DT, with a few actives. Maybe Caspar or Magot could confirm.
Regarding the fund raising, here are the results:

Very good Russia!!!!!
hired modellers are DT members I think. IF this initiative is finished, maybe if there is a 4.14 we could gather some more money for other project.

The team could certainly have a PayPal account, and a treasurer to keep track of funds. They should be able to figure that out.....

From what I understand, TD can't take any money for their work. But If they had a favorite charity, I might contribute in their name.

This is certainly a sensitive matter, but only I can say is that there's no such thing as a free lunch...

Not sure... but I don't think that will work.

What does appear to work is third party groups take donations to pay graphic artists to build aircraft cockpits. It worked for the Pe-8 project and appears to be working for the He177 project.
