Re: please join me in a prize for CTABLES

[Renan Levine]

Jason,
I think FSF or Paypal is a great idea. I teach at a university and have 
limited teaching enhancement funds- or could apply for - some small 
grants ($100? $1,000?) that might be able to provide small amounts of 
money for people who have the programming know-how to develop some 
innovations that my students would use in class (like, say, adding 
multicollinearity tests to OLS regression).
