The main problem is that membership to the Consortium generates paperwork costing more than 50 Euros (which is approximately 50 US$). If INRIA was flexible enough in accepting donations, then it would be pretty easy to do as you suggest. Unfortunately, for each amount of money arriving here, there must be an invoice prepared by INRIA (and possibly a formal contract, but I am not a specialist of those issues). I think that for the time being we should try to set up the Consortium with members supporting it with amounts starting from 2 kE, as stated in the membership agreement. We already have a few members in the pipeline, but we clearly need more. -- Michel
