There is one thing that prevents me to fund a free software project as Octave. 
There is no way to know how the money will be spent. I'd like to know if my 
money will be to pay bandwidth, new servers, an student to write some code or 
documentation, pizzas,... Could this be better explained in the funding 
webpage?

Maybe a good way to get some money for Octave development would be set up a 
reward program. Let's say I want/need more information about plotting because 
the Octave handbook plotting chapter is rather old. I could offer some money 
(20 eur, 15 eur, 30 eur? I don't know) for a new improved chapter. Obviously 
the code/documentation written in this way should have the same license that 
Octave code and documentation. I'm sure that many of us have more money than 
free time. Other people could offer their services.
