Blueprint changed by rejon: Whiteboard changed: This is pretty important, but not a blocker for getting the site out there. == Donation Tasks == Donations are being accumulated, and will be used to develop the project in ways that the community cannot achieve without financial aid. Here are some ideas for such developments, please add your own ideas to this list! * Making the site's backend ship fonts to other distributors like Debian, Fedora, and CTAN. * Making the site fully internationalised and translated * Attracting a professional typeface designer to kickstart freely available documentation on typeface design. * Purchasing the sourcecode to [http://www.iginomarini.com/ikern.html iKern] and releasing it under the GPL * Arrange [[donations]] via donations and grants. + + + ### + + + + '''[https://www.tug.org/donate.html Donate Now]''' + + Individuals and organisations can financially support the Open Font + Library project by donating to the + [https://www.tug.org/fonts/librefontfund.html TUG Libre Font Fund]. + + We are very grateful to TUG for taking care of the accounting issues for + us. This is especially convenient for donors in the USA because TUG is a + '''tax deductable''' charity. + + Donors can remain anonymous, but one benefit is that your logo can be + [http://openfontlibrary.fontly.org/patrons listed on our patrons page] + and your site linked to at the bottom of each page. + + You can sponsor the development of a particular feature of the site, + either your own idea or one already set out in our [[OFLB TODO list|to- + do list]]. + + All funds go towards things that the community cannot achieve without + sponsorship. + + In September 2008, a funding drive for $12,000 was organised by Dave + Crossland that hired professional web designers and software developers + from the Open Font Library community to re-design the site into its + current form, including the addition of the live and interactive font + previewing features. The funding letter is available in + [http://openfontlibrary.org/funding.txt plain text], + [http://openfontlibrary.org/funding.pdf PDF] and + [http://openfontlibrary.org/funding.tex LaTeX source] formats. + + In June 2009 Dave Crossland, Nicolas Spalinger and some other kind + donors made it possible for Ed Trager to continue development of + KeyCurry and Fontaine. + + In July 2010 Dave Crossland applied for a [[2010 Creative Commons + Catalyst Grant]] but due the very high number of applicants, this was + not successful. + + In September 2010 Dave Crossland applied to start a [[2010 Kickstarter + Project]] to raise further funds. + + Please feel free to raise funds yourself to help the project. + + You can sponsor the development of a particular feature of the site, + either your own idea or one already set out in our [[OFLB TODO list|to- + do list]]. You can also help as a [[friends|friend]] by offering non- + financial support.
