I agree, but I think that we can easily improve the situation. A few
simple ideas:
1) DOWNLOAD PAGE
What's the most viewed page in the website (excluding the home)?
Probably the download page:
http://lilypond.org/website/download.html
Let's add there a big Note saying something like: "Our most active
main developer David Kastrup is working full-time on LilyPond
development and need your support to make a living. If you use and
love LilyPond, please allow David to continue his precious work by
contributing whatever amount of money you can afford. [link to
Community>Sponsoring page]"
2) SPONSORING PAGE
I can guess without looking at 'git log' that the sponsoring page was
written by Graham :-)
It does not encourage any donation, right? The feeling is very
different from what we are reading in many replies in this thread.
Maybe it's time to change it a little bit?
3) GITSTATS
The gitstats linked in the sponsoring pages are a great idea but they
are out-of-date (november 2012). Any chance to keep them up-to-date
automatically?
Also, I'd rather link to the Authors tab:
http://lilypond.org/~graham/gitstats-3months/AUTHORS.html
gitstats is just a python script. Who has access to the server may
just set up a cron job to create the stats every X days:
https://github.com/hoxu/gitstats/blob/master/doc/INSTALL
Actually, it can be even run within 'make doc'. I've just run and it
compiles the stats of 2015 in 40 seconds:
$ time gitstats -c processes=2 -c start_date=1/1/2015 lilypond-git
lilypond-gitstats-2015
[...]
real 0m40.352s
$ du -h lilypond-gitstats-2015
612K lilypond-gitstats-2015
I'll move the discussion to @bug-lilypond
Last idea:
4) David reports on lilypondblog.org
If Urs and David agree, the past and future development logs of David -
if David wants to keep them up - may be published on lilypondblog.org
and made available to anyone, not only to the people who supported him
during these years.
We may use some special tag for these reports and link to it from the
sponsoring page.
I volunteer for converting the texinfo (?) source of these reports to
any format needed for Wordpress, trusting the great power of pandoc :)
