A couple thoughts/comments:

- I like having silver/gold/triple-platiunum levels, as it gives
companies something specific to aim for, an idea of what a "good" amount
would be.  That said, I'm curious about your trinary-biased choice of
dollar amounts...  :-)

- you mention "general use" funds for "foundation wide" needs.  What
does this include?  Is it for things like a paid director, hosting fees,
etc, or something else you had in mind...?

- can/should PSCs develop "wish-lists" for potential sponsors?  I'm
thinking something like "Project Foo wishes for $5K to add a WXS
interface".
