I guess that would help clarifying what we all can expect, so please  
proceed!

So we would have now (please correct me if I'm wrong):

- Steve D: EUR 100
- Kieren Richard MacMillan: EUR 100
- me (Vincent): EUR 100
- Jay Hamilton: EUR 50
- Bertalan Fodor: EUR 50

that's EUR 400. Then we would just need another EUR 50.

C'mon people, lily needs beautiful tied chords! :)
