On this topic, one of the things that stands out when you visit
http://www.firebirdsql.org is that there is no direct plea for support on
the homepage, conversely, if you visit http://www.postgresql.org/ there is a
plea for support smack bang in the middle of the page, with a "Donate Now"
link.

On the firebird site you have to visit the "Foundation" menu and then scroll
down past a big photo of a cake being cut, before you realize what the FB
foundation is all about. Although it may seem obvious to those who designed
the site, and I am not knocking the efforts in any way, a bit more of an "in
your face approach" might help bring in some money.

Helen or Ann, I can't remember now, knocked up an image for me for fbtalk,
(http://www.fbtalk.net/img/ff_linklogo.gif), the meaning of an image like
this, displayed prominently on the main page can't be mistaken by many
people.
