I probably didn't do a good job of tying the two portions of my reply together, but if I were to go to the donation page and I saw Project: Allow chromatic for 1 month to work exclusively on parrot Deliverables (if applicable): 100 - 150 high quality commits Required: $5000 Current: $0 I would be very inclined to make a donation. In fact, if you can find 9 other people willing to do so - I will cut a check for $500 any time you are ready. That's besides the point. I don't believe "just getting more money" is the solution. I think we need to do a number of things: 1. Identify people, like you, who are in a position to trade time for money and the projects they will work on 2. Allow people to choose where their money will go (if that's what they want to do) 3. Do it in a way that causes the least amount of fighting -- c > Cheers, Joshua Gatcomb a.k.a. Limbic~Region
