RickCorey said:By the way, when you talk about 'donations' as "someone asks for it and then gets it without a specific quid-pro-quo in return", that is the way I prefer to swap, and those are the swaps I would join. Better suited to fairly common seeds. My word would be "Oink" or "Request", meaning a request that's granted without a matching item specified in return".
Then there is a directed gift, where someone makes a specific offer, perhaps giving someone else first Dibbs if they join a certain swap. I'll call that "giving Dibbs" because it's an oddball notion.
If there's a newbie in the group and you want to gift them with something for nothing, that would be a 'freebie' and you would simply agree to a trade that offers you nothing in return.
