My opinion is that "merit" is something specific other than "important" (Your wording was: "Why would it be considered less..."). "merit" is something very personal. For me, this is personal because each of us, with skill, effort and perhaps also some luck, can earn and donate any amount of money. On the other hand the day has only 24 hours for each of us and nobody can increase this time. And please, don't get me wrong: the support by companies or other donors, I don't think is unimportant or of less value in the core, but "merit" is something which for me also contains a pinch of what one could call "honor".

The "development level of the project" is not a criterion for this. greetings, Jörg > > If there was any 3rd party influence, that would mean that at least > someone is trying to steer the project with some agenda.
