I mean I could add to its website, the information I have given
Could add to the FAQ a question like the following: PSPP accepts donations or 
financial assistance for their development?
In response could explain the reasons for not accepting donations and how you 
can help the project in other ways.

Which website do you think this information should be on? I am not sure which 
one you mean.

I wrote an email to address@hidden<mailto:address@hidden>, but received no 
response.

I would ask them to reconsider the option to make donations to the project, 
because I believe that if you are responsible enough to carry out a project 
like PSPP can manage donations received. For example, trust services you hire 
other people to do it myself, because I lack expertise.

If you think the FSF should consider PSPP a 'high priority' project, please
write to address@hidden<mailto:address@hidden> and tell them.

Collecting donations has been considered before, but there are issues to 
consider
such as currency exchange, liability and trust.

If you have a specific feature that you want implemented, and are prepared to 
pay
a professional price to get it done, there are companies which can do that for
you.  One such company is www.cellform.com<http://www.cellform.com/>

If you want to volunteer to help development, then you are very welcome to do 
so.

    From what I understand there are few developers currently working in PSPP.

    PSPP seems like a great project, could become a high-priority project of 
the FSF?. I understand that the support of this campaign aims to redirect 
efforts to the software developers promoted in the campaign.

    PSPP is a great effort to be a free replacement for SPSS and perhaps an 
alternative to other similar software such as SAS or Stata. PSPP efforts are 
different from Octave, but equally valuable.

    Also, could add to its web site donations, and promoting student projects 
for GSoC or similar.

    As a user might ask for much and could not contribute code, but could make 
some money that could be invested in your valuable time or contract hours for 
other developers to work on PSPP.


    Has any other ideas? a small campaign donations could be useful.
