No, Stanbol is not funded by IKS. IKS is welcome to make donations to the ASF if that's desired, but such donations only apply to the global ASF budget, not to specific projects. People working on Stanbol being funded IKS is something that happens between those people and IKS, the ASF does not have anything to do with that. > >> I suggest >> changing this to just "the Apache Stanbol project was initiated by the >> European R&D project IKS - Interactive Knowledge Stack" with the link. > > How about: "Some people who are working on the Apache Stanbol project are > funded by European R&D project IKS - Interactive Knowledge Stack, as well as > several european SME [list the SMEs]" ? Right now, I'm ok with that if we mention IKS only, and if we want to be complete we should add "until the end of 2012". If you want to add company names to that, we need to define rules that make sure that's done in a fair way. Do we include independents working on Stanbol on their own time, for example? Do we include companies whose employees submitted just one patch? This needs a separate discussion, so right now I'd say include IKS only. -Bertrand
