Hi Jean,
Would you like me to include any of this to the wiki page? You never
know ...
I am going around collecting the mailing lists responses.

Hello Docs Team,
You may have seen this note from Marc here or on another list. IMO
Docs is self-funding through sales of printed copies of books, but if
there is anything you think should be added to the official LO
wishlist, please respond on this thread. (And please read the rest of
this note first.)
My wishlist (for items not covered by book sales) includes funding for
one full-time-equivalent technical writer (actually 2 or 3 part-time
people), but I don't think that's a realistic thing to put on the
official wishlist. :-)

Hi everyone,
Just to clarify. We are really looking for your team's wishlist and it must
be of budgetary consideration. This is not a wishlist for new UX-designs,
new logos etc. The wishlist should really be discussed with your other team
members so that we can get a better view of the needs of the different
LibreOffice teams.
For example: website team is looking at infrastructure (big and small); the
marketing team is discussing the possibility of "Booth kits" to be
deployed/shipped to areas/regions where conference materials are in
desperate need.
Leave me a message on this thread is you have any questions. Please do not
send me your personal wishlists; I will go around and collect the wishlists
from your list/thread later or as I see your discussions and decisions are
made.
Cheers,
Marc

Hi everyone,
Just a reminder to your teams about this.
We are seriously looking at different teams' wishlists. Please do take a
little time out of your busy schedule and speak to your teams about any
funding for items that you think may be of importance to your team or the
enhance the functioning of your team's work on the project. So far there are
only the website and marketing teams who are working on some items. Feel
free to ask if you have any questions regarding this. At this point,
anything goes, as long as the requests are reasonable. We need these items
for planning more effective funding drives as well as for budgeting. It
would really help if your suggestions come along with approximate costs
where possible.
Cheers,
Marc

Hi everyone,
In trying to better assess the TDF/LibreOffice funding requirements, we
are compiling a wishlist of funding request particular to your team's needs.
While there is no guarantee that this will get you funding for any
particular item, it will help to better assess and prioritize the project's
needs.
I have volunteered to take care of setting up, as well as, document
(facilitate) the proposal from Florian (below)[1]
snip
==========
"What we effectively need now is a (senseful) wishlist from the various
teams. Think of it as a Christmas wishlist: You write a dozen things on it,
eventually you get two or three, which is fantastic!
Besides the infrastructure and cost for ongoing operations, I can also
imagine some developer machines are required, more travel funding, a
marketing campaign, funds to produce collaterals and swags for giving them
away, and many more.
My proposal is to create a wiki page, asking the various groups to write
down their wishes, and eventually "distill" a wishlist out of that.
Does that sound senseful? Are there any volunteers for mailing the
various lists and compiling an initial wiki page? " (Florian Effenberger)
==========
I think the key words in Florian's proposal are "senseful-whishlist". If
there are multiple items, you may want to prioritize them in the right
order.
I have set up a wiki page to collect your team's list[2]. Feel free to
add these to the wiki page after discussing it with your team, or, I can
also help out with collecting your suggestions by re-visiting this thread
and then add them to the wiki page.
Cheers,
Marc
