Hello Manuel, It is probably so that Care2x community should be based on voluntary work like Senthil wrote, but it can be the place where to show the skills and from where to find developers to support different projects funded by hospitals/donors/partners. Some kind of business model makes this project more attractive to developers. People have to make their living in one way or other and if we would have built our project totally on voluntary work we would not have achieved much. If there would have been a clear business model of the project earlier it might not have lost so many developers. Senthil suggested we should have Business analyst/product lead and I think he could work out solutions for business model - even if he would do voluntary work within this project :-).
American Universities get a lot of donations from their old students. The same could work with this kind of project: the one who becomes familiar and expert with Care2x during voluntary work and later gets business with Care2x, could return something to the project later. Coolman and Enrique were thinking about financial support of the project.
