</span>Sorry, I thought that <a href="http://qgis.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">qgis.org</a> does not directly involve in crowdfunding<br>
projects, I must have missed the decision when this was changed. Are the<br>
requirements for a project to be executed by <a href="http://qgis.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">qgis.org</a> available somewhere?<br>
<br>
All the best<br>
