Hi,
I am an admin of the Pd Facebook group.
People have been asking for a sticky-post announcing this funding for GEM development. A poll confirmed this was overwhelming supported.
Can someone give me a SINGLE link which is best for the entire project? It should have some narrative about WHO is running the project and WHAT it is, and HOW people can contribute funds.
Also, is there a way people can contribute funds to the entire project, and not towards fixing specific bugs? (I am unfamiliar with this funding model).
I want to satisfy the request for a sticky post, but I'm not sure how to proceed.
Thanks, BH

agree!!!!
So, don't worry about the money already in the bounty system : it will
not be useless.
so.... do we then keep lobbying for bountysouce funding? again, we could have this pinned on the facebook group (12k subscribers) which could generate greater donations.

hello, sorry for being unresponsive. I don't have lot's of free time.
All money put on a bounty can be moved to an other bug, and there are lot's of bugs to fix : https://www.bountysource.com/trackers/1046360-umlaeute-gem So, don't worry about the money already in the bounty system : it will not be useless.
I put money on the 4 issues that prevent a new release. But I talk to Iohannes and it appear I may have made some mistake. Iohannes should organize a bit the github issue soon. We may have to moved some founding from 1 issue to an other after that. So, let's wait that Iohannes spend few time on github before we announce this bounty to a bigger audience.
About New Blanket, I fail to find a good way to go, since I already start the bounty system, and that I don't have enough free time. But having this new release in only a 1st steep : there is lot's of other bugs and feature request that are waiting for to long. So, next time, with a better organization, we will find a way to have NB help us on the founding.
I'm aware that thing moves slowly, but at least they are moving!
cheers Cyrille

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

> and also what might prevent multiple funding sources? Depending on how the money is being used maybe that wouldn't be abad thing.
Using this Patreon as an example https://www.patreon.com/pippin the funding is to support the developer, not necessarily the GIMPsoftware (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 thatget over these potential issues?
