ibiblio (via UNC) does receive and hold some funds for tldp. we have not
yet spent any of these funds and report them regularly to the tldp staff.
over the years, there has been much discussion about incorporating tldp as
a 501(c)3 not-for-profit tax-exempt corporation (in the US). i've looked
into this several times and it's fallen out of discussion each time. it
may be that we need a separate foundation just to deal with funds (ala
gutenberg.net).
send your checks to:
ibiblio.org
campus box 3456
UNC
chapel hill, nc 27599-3456
USA
make them payable to University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a
note that the funds are for the Linux Documenation Project.

+While its remarkable that tldp has managed to survive
+as an informal group of volunteers for a long time a
+foundation can be formed to better deal with these
+kinds of things
+
+benefits
+1)clear leadership and direction
+2)can be assigned copyrights
+3)can recieve funds
+4)organise things more easily
+5)contacts can be established in a better way
