According to their web page: "Donations made are general donations to
the Software Freedom Conservancy, Inc.,"

Doesn't general donation == unrestricted?

That's the only serious problem I have with this idea. Accounting
systems in general are a long-running sore. The co-op is currently
looking at extending Prometeo ERP,

workers I can use to do a full published evaluation for quite a while.
