Hi, so, what's up?

we already have 385$ thrown at bountysource, ditching it would mean throwing about 40$ in the thrash, plus taxes to paypal... it'd be weird and silly, not to mention a disrespect to some who felt like they wanted to help (I, for one, would feel like that and regretful I helped). Any word or idea on what's going on there?

I guess multiple sources could be a good way to go if you feel there's also a better parallel option, but please don't just do this without consulting people who have already pledged money, and while this is still out there in the air and others could give yet more money to it.

cheers

Depending on how the money is being used maybe that wouldn't be a bad thing.

Using this Patreon as an example https://www.patreon.com/pippin the
funding is to support the developer, not necessarily the GIMP software
(even though the aforementioned person is a major developer of GIMP).

So, if we look at bountysource/this funding drive as a way to fund
developers rather than the software (semantics, i know!) does that get
over these potential issues?
