Awesome. Thanks NumFOCUS folks! This is probably premature but it would be interesting to compile a list of potential uses for whatever funds SymPy has stored away. If someone gave us 10k what would we do with it?
Also, there are other ways to get funding (grants, providing support, requesting sponsorship from companies/universities, directly funded work). Do any of these interest us? What support/guidance (if any) can NumFOCUS offer here?
