Hi *,
thanks so far for your contributions to the discussions so far. Note that we
were switching the title of the discussions which makes up a new link:
https://github.com/support-and-care/maven-support-and-care/discussions/categories/ideas-for-funding
As we are starting to compile the funding request in the next days, I will
close the discussions by tomorrow (Monday, 9th of February), 18:00 CET.
Perhaps not all will make it to the request based on your feedback and
discussions led elsewhere.
If we get a new funding, we will get in touch with you before starting to work
on these items. So you will still have the chance to participate in the
realisation phase.
Regards
Gerd
