Hi Jochen, I was considering all kind of / suggested funding approaches, including newer crypto currency based ones. My rationale for choosing the Jira task was that I considered it (at the very least) a good test balloon:# It did not require any of the core Groovy devs to invest time due to its informal nature - which## allows to keep the exact details of a funded feature a little bit fuzzy## as well as the way of transferring said funds## and even whether you will transfer the funds in the end - not what one wants, of course, but it means the commitment level is low# It does not require people to create a seperate account# It collects all funding goals in a single place# It allows to mix general (Java 9) and more specific goals easily# I expected people to voice their opinion on alternative preferred ways of funding (with hopefully a champion emerging) I had hoped this informal approach would work, butif people prefer https://www.bountysource.com, then all for it :-) (I am just worried that the sums that can be gathered that way are pretty small - that seemed to be the problem with all the services I have looked at; it seems people need the "all together now" and emotional involvement of a Kickstarter to give sizable sums...Feel free to prove me wrong everyone :-) ) (Also I cannot set this up, since you already need to know where the money goes, etc...) Cheers,mg
