indeed, having it as "besonders förderungswürdig" brings the benefit of
getting tax bonuses and having donations as well as membership fees
tax-deductible, while it limits the way you can spend. Both options do
not affect, as far as I recall, the type of donations or their origin
that you can accept.
This combination of two associations so far worked very well, because
depending on what was needed, it was one or the other association that
could step in, as both models have their advantage, indeed.
Just as an example: In the past, we often had it that OOoDeV/FrODeV paid
for the trade show booth e.g. at CeBIT, while TeamOOo jumped in with
travel fundings.
