[Qgis-psc] Increasing requests for targeted sponsorships

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

My rationale for adding that phrase (precluding targeted donations) was 

a) mainly do to administrative overhead and 
b) also due to a concern that it would create contractual expectations - the donor will expect something specific to happen in return for their donation. I think specific tasks are better dealt with in direct relationships between donors and developers, and we as the project can point donors to suitably skilled devs.

That said, I think if Andreas feels ok to manage (a) and we create general enough ‘buckets’ of funding (documentation, bug fixing, hack tests or whatever) then (b) should not become an issue.

Regards

Tim
