To dynebolic

"please consider also the possibility of making a donation, or
encouraging your organization or company to do so, to let us carry

work and there is no billionaire feeding anyone, so a little bit from
all users will help a lot, especially now that our foundation can
receive donations via paypal (so far only 30 or 40$ were received)"

Is there a possibility of setting up the dynebolic website to have a
section where users can focus on certain active projects for the
dyneOS? The projects in this section would take paypals specifically
for any 'interested' projects

for example, a project:
Dyne nests that don't require the 'dd file' to hold the nest. The
required nest directories would go into a directory with any name and
the ".nst" extension; for example 'AnyName.nst' would be a directory
that would would hold the necessary info that identifies a dyne nest.
A user would then populate the directory with whatever content meets
their fancy. Dynebolic would then detect the nest-directory and after
loading it a user could work inside the nest. this type of nest would
have the advantage of automatically growing without any size
restriction.

A paypal account could be set up to raise a certain amount to get to
project to meet a reasonable progress deadline.

In general, a sort of business plan for any 'interested' project would
generate the paypal money necessary to realize an 'interested' project
and add to the dynebolic-nation, as a whole, a vigorous ongoing OS
