Would this include the script downloads before the site was moved?
Do you plan on distributing the entire foundation pool at once? Or equal amounts over a select period of time? (Since there's a fairly large amount in the pool.)

Long ago (when there was only a few scripters), the names of the scripters were put in a poll and voted on. The users who received the highest votes were given a donation. This method could work, with a few modifications.
For example, every month an equal portion of the foundation pool would be donated to the scripters. Letâs say $250. All scripters would be placed in a poll and voted on by either:
A. ioFTPD foundation users (rationale: it's their money, they should decide who goes to).
B. ioFTPD registered users (rationale: these users have probably used the scripts and can gauge the quality and effort put into them).
C. Both A and B, except a vote by a foundation member would carry more weight.
D. Everyone?
The poll would close in, say a week, and the top 5 scripters would receive 50$ each.
Or set up some sort of award system with different categories. Best zip-script, best <insert whatever here>.
Just throwing out a few ideas.
