Kirill, Firstly, it is great that you are planning to contribute to Wave.
We tend not to announce things before they have happened, so we don't tend to announce that someone has joined a project. As to donations to a developer, we all need food, and many of us make our living based upon connections we made at Apache. As a registered non-profit, Apache can't be seen to favour one person above another, so placing adverts for donations on the site itself if problematic. What I would say, though, is that you should start to participate here. Ask around for suggestions of missing features/weaknesses and start contributing. Do that sufficiently, and you'll be offered commit rights so you can work actively on the application yourself. There's nothing at all to stop you using contacts you make here to find work/projects. All that is required is that you are sensitive to the needs of the project, and that you recognise that most people aren't here to talk about financial issues. Welcome, I look forward to seeing your contributions to the project!
