 after a few conversations over IRC, we figured we might relax or at least
 document better our documentation about hardware donations. we ended up
 with the following (markdown) text that should replace question 37 in the
 donor faq, at:

 https://donate.torproject.org/donor-faq

 {{{
 Can I donate hardware?
 ======================

 Typically no, we don't encourage people to donate hardware. But if
 you want to make a hardware donation that you think might be
 especially useful for us, please mail giving(at)torproject.org.

 The Tor project manages multiple machines in multiple locations, all
 aimed at helping the Tor project develop software design to protect
 people's anonymity. It does not, in itself, run the Tor network.

 Machines for helping the Tor project develop software are generally paid
 for by the Tor project or donated by
 friendly organisations. If you wish to donate hardware resources, it's
 generally expected the hardware will be fully under the control of the
 [Tor
 sysadmin team][]. Details of the requirements are documented in the
 [team wiki][].

 It's possible for the Tor project to run only *services* on top of an
 already existing
 operating system as well, but we prefer to run the entire stack ourselves.

 If more reviews are needed, a copy of that text lives in this pad  as
 well:

 This has been reviewed by ahf and gaba, if i remember correctly.

 It seems the page can changed in
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/project/web/donate.git/tree/templates/donor-
 faq.twig but i don't feel super comfortable doing this myself, so i'm
 punting this to a ticket. :)
