Definitely I am in favour of creating a French "association loi 1901".
From what I have heard of diverse clubs I am a member of, this is rather
easy; but so far I have not had the time to look into it.
It may still be interesting to also go via the FSF. This would mean bank
accounts in the euro and the dollar currency spaces, and it might be easier
for US donors to deduce donations from their taxes.
