Wouldn't it be a better idea to compensate those who currently maintain Org-mode informally, i.e. who still keep things (and the mailing list) running and responsive? I would suggest to pass donations to Bastien and/or anybody who is actually doing the job of a maintainer, even if not with full intensity, to compensate him/them for time and effort. >>>>>> "Carsten" == Carsten Dominik <carsten.domi...@gmail.com> writes: > > From: Carsten Dominik <carsten.domi...@gmail.com> > > To: org-mode list <emacs-orgmode@gnu.org> > > Subject: [O] Is anyone spending money for Org-mode? > > Date: 12-Mar-14 18:53 > > > Dear all, > > > I am still receiving donations for Org-mode, even though right now I am > > only formally the maintainer of Org (it is very difficult to make > > time free > > for me, currently).
