There are 2 ways to sponsor:

1. A general contribution.
    This is how we have financed (partially at least - the largest part till
    now came from personal funds) the development of pas2js, including the
    new anonymous function support.

2. Contribution for a specific project.
    As you personally can testify, we have delivered on the last project you sponsored.

If you want the latter form, we do need to know and agree on a specific project which
can be sponsored. I will then publish it on the foundation website so other people can
sponsor it too if they want.

Michael.
