Sounds great!

Perhaps one way to get more take-up would be to offer GNOME art for
phones (backgrounds, maybe some GNOME ringtones, just thinking out loud
here) and on download to the phone pointing people to this donation page
and asking for a $1 donation or something?

Just a thought - I have no idea what would be involved to get that set
up conveniently.

Cheers,
Dave.
