If crowdfunding was a service that the GNOME foundation offered it's members, I would be in favor of that. However, as it stands today, I believe this would cause undue burden on the board. Additionally, I'm against a policy on external links based on their JavaScript, full stop. (However, I'm willing to entertain a policy based on other guidelines). -- Christian _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
