bluntly, Yes, but your good intentions are very worthy.
surely lynx-dev's problems are TIME, not money:
 USD 50  wouldn't buy  1 hr  of a good programmer's time.
it's basic for people to try to be reliable & encouraging to one another,
so that everyone is that much more likely to donate time;
at present, TD is shouldering the whole ac-#xxx burden
in the absence of Klaus (my guess for him remains a sick parent)
& the habitual intermittence of Fote;
so TD needs encouraging words: if someone wants to give him  USD 50 ,
it wouldn't be upto anyone else to comment,
but i'ld say a fair monetary return for his work would be far more
than the lynx-dev co-op is likely to be able to afford;
the same is true of any of the other contributors.
Lynx, love it or leave it?
