Earlier this year there was discussion about forming a "Financial Team".
I'm not sure exactly if a team is required, but formalizing mechanisms
for projects like translations and content, research or development, to
look for funds - sounds like an excellent idea. We (local labs) have
been thinking and talking for a long time about a "project bank" where
projects could be tracked in a platform for funding, as well as
requirements and funding could be gathered in bounties or calls for
proposals (the other way around).
I'm cc'in Laura who has been thinking about the design of such a system
for a long time.
What do you think? Maybe funding for developing such a platform is one
of the first things to consider?

I would like to propose that we create a funding team to pursue grant
opportunities and partnerships for Sugar Labs, including Activity
development, translation, documentation, teacher training materials, and
digital content integrating software into lessons and explorations. To get
things started, I have created a temporary page with some suggestions.
There are lots more.

We need people to gather and document opportunities; grant writers; and
proposals for what to fund.
Some people think that this is still a bad time to ask for money, but I
hear that corporations are sitting on trillions of dollars of cash
equivalents.
