I have been asking for this from the OpenOffice.org community council
for many years, with no results. I don't like to give money if I don't
know where it's going. I hope The Document Foundation will do better. I
don't expect auditing, but I do expect some basic accounting.

Here is an example, from the group that handles the money raised for
OOoAuthors from sales of printed copies of the OOo user guides:

(Which reminds me, I should have put the January-June 2010 figures on
that website some time ago.)
