I am not sure of my arithmetic. Six mentors at $500 is $3000, so 10%
is $300 and 5% is $150. Leaving $2550 or $255 per mentor.<br>

<div>I don't understand. It is called a donation, and thus
it is _de facto_ a donation request.</div>

<div>Its a long tradition in software projects to have names
for releases; Microsoft's codenames in the 90s were cities

The donate link on the wiki was not working, I didn't retrieve
a working link yet, but when I do I will get it back on the
website :) I'd be very grateful if you could help with this :D<br
