Hi list, after some research, I've found out that the data on how most free software projects are financed is very scarce, if not rare. We have data on big foundations like Mozilla and Wikimedia, but we have only hints for "small" projects like Gimp, etc.
What do you think of preparing a survey about this? We can gather ideas (first topics and questions) here: http://lite4.framapad.org/p/floss_funding_survey If the project looks promising, I can ping a friend at Wikimedia who is head of the research department, expert in building surveys like this one. I think the benefit for the community would be great, and I hope it would help promoting user-backed solutions like the one we are focused on librefunding. Let me know what you think. All best, -- Bastien _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://lists.librefunding.org/listinfo/discussion
