Obviously the project will be kept running for six months without
any money. ;)
But funding will probably be a benefit for the developement (of course).
I especially like the bounty hunt things that some other projects
use. Like ubuntu, gnome, horde etc.
If a company (or person for that matter) need something done and
are willing to pay for it, I do not see a problem with that.
