I think having a project coordinator as a *first* priority isn't a
good idea (not saying it isn't down the track)
Currently there's little to coordinate as the core team aren't active in
planning or review. can the team be expanded ? (I'm not angling for a
role myself)

It’s complicated and I’m not a lawyer, so maybe it is indeed not a
problem. But in brief it’s like trademark protection, kind of, in
that it becomes SFC’s problem to be aware that you’ve said these
things and tell you not to say them. The twisted project (which is
a bit of an amorphous concept to begin with) has authorized SFC to
be its fiscal sponsor, the SFC has gone through the rigamarole
with the IRS to ensure this is an exempt-able public benefit
activity, and now someone is making claims about the project
hiring, which they’re on the hook for. How does the IRS know your
status of affiliation with the project or the conservancy for
sure? Somebody has to investigate it, investigating means asking a
bunch of questions and sucking up the SFC’s time and energy, even
if no enforcement action is ever formally taken.
In short: talk to the SFC first about the project’s status, get an
actual official recommendation and not my random opinion about
what may or may not be a problem, before doing anything related to
fundraising. I can’t say anything authoritative about what is
allowed, because as far as I understand it, *nothing* is allowed
without untangling the PLC/approval process first. :-)
(Except to raise money for the already-authorized expenses related
to the continued hosting of twistedmatrix.com
<http://twistedmatrix.com>, of course.)
Thanks for the info and sorry for the trouble :)
I will try to send a (private) message to SFC these days to untangle
the PLC team and I will add you to CC.
Until we solve the PLC issue, I would consider this discussion blocked.
Cheers
