"Crowdfunding" is (imho) a topic for third parties who have specific interests for changes to AOO. "Crowdfunding" is when: someone collects money or resources to *independently* make the changes *he* needs. He can return code to the project, but they must not do. Sponsorship or support for the AOO project itself, is when: someone donates money for Apache, or paid developers and provides the manpower available I do not see that apache should set up rules or aids provide for Crowdfounding because it is not an issue for the AOO project *itself*.
