[Live-demo] Re: Projects Sponsors (ie who pays for your supper)

[Jody Garnett]

In hunting around I have found a lot of projects make a point of thanking sponsors (usually government grants) for supporting development activities.
Is this a significant source of funding for many of the projects here?

If so I can break out a column to thank "sponsors".
