Donation of your time is more appreciated than funds. Have you considered submitting a patch to improve documentation? As an added bonus your name will be associated with the contribution within the source code. If that does not interest you then improving the wiki could be a good start. It is intended to supplement the documentation and is publicly editable. https://trac.ffmpeg.org/#CommunityContributedDocumentation For example the AV1 article is outdated and can be updated with the addition of the encoder librav1e. > > It's fairly informal since there is no standard or official process to do > > this. > > The ffmpeg crew needs to think about it. It's important. I don't disagree, but money is not the motivating factor for FFmpeg development (or at least it isn't for me despite my finances), so nobody has invested the time and energy to better organize sponsorship and bounties. What I would like to see is the project use its funds to pay developers, but that's a different discussion. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list [email protected] https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email [email protected] with subject "unsubscribe".
