Cool, I like the advice you put in on how to look and evaluate the folks. I think that makes it feel more helpful and less demanding (which I was worried about but couldn't quite figure out how to fix).
We should ask Vectors to comment to ensure it isn't in "Developer English" and I would notify SFC about it but not block on them. I think we've avoided the big mistakes, so I'm not too worried we'd risk their tax status or anything. We'll probably also eventually need a policy on the ordering of the list of people. Don't have strong feelings on what it should be (is it easy to rotate regularly?) but I imagine as we grow it will become an issue. I don't want people to feel we're favoring the board/friends/enemies/The British/etc. Ted On Apr 15 2021, at 5:05 pm, Martin Owens doctormo@geek-2.com wrote:
Round 2,
Thanks Ted, All your changes are in. I've emboldened the section about "It is your responsibility..." I think your changes make this feel better to me. More straightforward.

What I think we can't do is imply we've vetted the list in any way other than "they are active contributors." So I think we need to drop the text:
we try and keep this list clean of people with bad reputations.
and
If you have had a bad experience: please contact the project.
We don't have the means to determine who is at fault or whether they were in violation of a contract (assuming one was signed) or anything like that. I don't want to use the word "scammed" as that's not what we want to suggest. But I think that we probably need to have: "It is your responsibility vet the individuals on this list and to ensure that funding these people will achieve the goals you have set for those funds."
Then I would change this "This is a random list of people who have put themselves forwards as people who are contributing to Inkscape funded by users:" to something like "This is a list of Inkscape contributors who have requested their funding platforms to be listed here. If you're a contributor and would like to be listed please XYZ." That way it isn't us judging them in anyway, it is just them requesting to be listed and us honoring that request.
