SOD FAIR!

Many of us contribute precious little towards the projects we benefit so 
much from. And you've contributed a lot towards lilypond and us.

@Lucas Pinke - even in the Great North as you call, currency exchange is 
a major problem - if you don't live in David's Euro zone the banks will 
happily take a large chunk of the money we donate.

David - do you have access to a bank account that doesn't charge 
conversion fees? So if I contribute GB£50 it will actually arrive in 
your account as EUR50+? Not as EUR40-?

I'll need to find out how to make payments to an IBAN number, but if you 
have something I'll happily set up a standing order.

(And if it's an account like our UK savings accounts, so much the 
better. I would have no qualms publishing a number like that here 
because you can only put money in, not take it out ...)

Cheers,
Wol
