If you say you're "better" than being in the huge Rockbox family with all the other targets, why would the main Rockbox donation fund help out the Rockbox-on-Meizu project then? That money was donated by users of all sorts of targets.
Besides, the fact that the main fund is funded by users using something like 30 different players make it bigger and it funds Rockbox as a single project as that's what Rockbox is.
Rockbox-on-Meizu is a sub-project to get drivers and tweaks fixed to make it run on the Meizu models, by donating and throwing money only to the guys that work on these drivers you're purposely ignoring the vast amount of time and effort spent by hundreds of individuals to make Rockbox what it is. And all that sweat will come to the Meizu ones the drivers and tweaks are working.
Of course the hackers that work hard on getting Meizu support for Rockbox done are worth admiration, support and even perhaps funding if there's anything particular they need to reach results faster.
If you say that only the drivers and tweaks for Meizu are worth your donations, then I would accuse you of not understanding exactly what it means to create a project with 500,000 lines of quality code.
You're of course free to do whatever you want, but me being one of the Rockbox guys who've ordered a Meizu to get into this work I feel I must protest since I really don't like this kind of attitude. And if you decide to proceed with a Meizu-specific funding, I would like to you be clear and accurate in your description when you do this - that it isn't going to the "normal" Rockbox project.
