Hi board, Due to the recent cash grab by patreon, I have moved all my funding to liberapay. Inkscape does not appear to have an account with liberapay, and furthermore, there is a 'fork' account which we might want to investigate.

It looks like that just means the user has forked Inkscape on Github, not that they're actively soliciting funds for a fork. I think we want people to "fork" on Git (though I think that's a bad use of the word by Github). So I think this is just Github being misleading in their terms, and Liberapay passing it along in their search.

Do you have a link for more information.
I haven't had the time to really look into it yet (waaay too much work), but I saw it go on twitter:

Thanks Marc,
Doesn't look like a huge problem, but certainly something to be watching as the dynamic for small pledges shakes out. There'll be a smaller number of $1 pledges as Patreon tries to take a bigger cut out of it's users pre-pledge.
Martin,
