Hi all, Please read Martin's email below. "
Any project based funding will have to go through the board and the Free Software Conservancy who handle those aspects of the project.

The way I understood things is: if someone is payed to work on Inkscape, that is fine and is not our business (and has happened in the past though similar funding websites, correct?). I thought it becomes our business if the funding/fundraising is brought as an official Inkscape activity, or on deciding whether code lands in trunk, or trademark/copyright issues etc. So, although (much) payed development next to unpayed volunteer development is debatable, I don't think we can (or should try to) prevent such independent funding website projects.
regards, Johan

Please let me know what you think and if you are interested in getting funding this way, either as a group of core-developers or, if not, as an individual developer.
Hi Anna,

I wonder if we can have a license to fund from the board. A sort of sanction to seek funding in a specific way under Inkscape's umbrella. It wouldn't need money to flow through SFC, but could help routing costs.
In any regard; the small project pattern should make it easier to make that request.
