If you think the FSF should consider PSPP a 'high priority' project, please
write to
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

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.
