You can sponsor it if you wish. It is 20 Euros per month at at least 12
months = 240 Euros. We need one bank account to withdraw it from.

It does not instill trust in me.
Funnily enough you and Jürgen have named two very desperate contenders (or
victims) of TYPO3.

I would do so for an english version, but for the german market I think
something more down to earth is better to not damage the Open Source theme.

Any more comments?

Cheers,

Daniel
