If you wish to donate money to any group, you should con- sider carefully what 'value in real change' that donation produces. You could give it to one of the major campaigning groups - but a lot of that money goes on administration rather than actual action. The website currently runs at a significant loss - and it will continue to do so even with donations. But the funds will allow those involved to devote more time to the site because they have to work less hard in their 'conventional' jobs to support it. The computer holding our website generates information on how many times each file has been requested.
Usage is difficult to assess in terms of people.
A page can be a huge report, or just an index to information on the site. Currently the site transmits around 600 pages of information every day. A year ago it was only 300. The actual quantity of data the site actually sends out every day is also huge compared to other 'amateur' sites because of the number of very large files. Data transactions are currently ex- ceeding 20 megabytes per day.
