[Editions IN NOMINE]

Hi.

I thought one could order "pieces of improvment" (it's been a long time 
since I read something on it...). The idea is : I pay for my personnel 
need, and the improvment is put back in the community. This question 
strikes me because I've just beginning to set up shop as an editor, and 
I've planned to pay back part of my (future ;-) ) benefits to Lilypond.

As for last point of Valentin's respose, such models must already exist 
: for instance, the Ubuntu project is worldwide, but the French 
community is able to receive money on his own 
(http://www.ubuntu-fr.org/soutien).

Any idea ?

Best regards

JM
