If you are referring to my comment that I didn't like the idea of 
*spending* money on t-shirts, I apologize.  It really seems like there 
are better uses of sponsorship money to me - and I liked all the others 
on that page.  If others believe that putting t-shirts at the top of the 
list is a good idea, I don't want to stop anyone.

I think we've probably gotten all the feedback that we're going to 
(easily) get on the proposal.  I think everybody likes the idea, and I 
think it will get an easy approval in a vote.

I'm sure we can always tweak the language - both in the proposal and in 
our wiki page about how we plan to spend the money.
