A long long time ago in a galaxy surprisingly close, we were looking into
becomming a 501(c). Ryan was working on it, but he didn't get around to doing
much before he left us.

There are a few people (Seth for one, I believe) who are experienced in the
non-profit process, so I'd suggest talking to them (him) about what's needed.

Setting up a non-profit organization is a good idea, I think. As to who would
control the money, the board-elected treasurer. :)
