I'll try to be brief: - Having a full-time job already, I don't mind making some free contributions (patches, troubleshooting) for Guix, even if somebody else is getting paid to do it. - I like that idea of donation money being spent to contract people to do bug killing, package maintenance, or to work on specific development projects. - For me, it is critical that Guix remain a purist free-software project, in the way that the FSF and the GNU project promote this. - I wonder if existing FSF systems or tooling, for their campaigns work, could be of benefit to Guix. FSF has an energetic system for campaigning for donations that seems to work pretty well for them. - Personally, I like doing development over e-mail and debbugs, due to how this integrates well with Emacs functionality. It does not appeal to me to have to log in to some heavyweight forge Web site, through a Web browser I despise, to have to participate. I would be interested in other APIs and tools if I can utilize them all through just Emacs. -- Christopher Howard
