True, which is good. But it's personal. To Bastien who already have signaled that he's signing of. I frankly don't know where to put my financial contributions right now. I've offered other contributors to sign up for a similar patreon to recieve some contributions but they have declined, due to what I understand as a pressure for delivery (even though I've clarified that at least I have no expectations, just want to contribute for the already done valuable work). It is my believe that Org would benefit from a counter that would "tic up" even if no one collects the money. Like it or not, money has an effect. Better to allocate it to open source work than anything else! Or? Anyhow, maybe the next maintainer(s?) who come after Bastien sees this and realizes that there at the least is around 5-20$/m laying in wait from this particular source. Regards Gustav
