Hello List, Recently, we were approached by an individual who works as a freelance developer, he plans to setup a new online installer which includes many precompiled libraries, in exchange for funding over the course of several months.
While we would appreciate efforts to make it more attractive end users by providing much needed value-added extras like frequently used libraries, we cannot actually afford the expenditure. It is true that mingw-w64 does have corporate sponsors, but these funds are directed towards individual contributors under the employ of said corporation, rather than mingw-w64 itself. We are not actually at liberty to redirect funds about to fund subcontracted ventures. Right now, we have 400 Euros which can be spent on setting up project meetings (barely enough), but not much else. I hope we are being transparent enough to keep the goodwill of our contributors and packagers. We appreciate the contributions very much, but of course, some monetary donations are also appreciated.
