Pas2JS was supported by the foundation more than any other project, if I understood right. Now looking at its home page: https://foundation.freepascal.org/ I don't see Pas2JS even listed in the projects page. Why? The main page says about donations: "If you would like to donate money for a specific project, see our donations page page. A list of past donors can be seen in our Hall of fame." However there is no way to donate for a specific project. The money goes into a black hole. Its usage for various projects is not reported even afterwards. I understand it is a turn-off for people like Edivando who want to support a particular sub-project. When the foundation was discussed, I remember there was a request to publish data about the money flow and projects supported. I don't find data anywhere else either. Google+ community was closed. Are there other places to look at? I think "Google+ community" should be removed from the About page. Anyway, I understand Edivando's motive to support a particular project using an open and controlled crowdfunding process instead of puoring the money into a black hole from where no information leaks out.
