Sure they do, but I dont like the idea of having adds all over the place
However I strongly support the paypal links as it is an easy and  
transparent! way to support the authors.

Anywhy, there should be no adds as long as there are no specific rules  
where to put them in oder to not distract user
and yes, I fear too that starting to have adds at ramdon places will be  
the beginning of decrease of Typo3

I believe (and thats my opinion) that a project like Typo3 lives from  
volunteer work. Sure developers need to eat, but placing adds is not the  
best idea.
Otherwise it will end up where Joomla is now. A lot of stuff, but mostly  
for advertising purpuse.

I would like the core team (or association) to define some rules where  
adds can be placed. The manual is not the best place to have adds. A  
thanks and a link to the sponsor is just fine.
And keep up the paypal idea.
