You pay a transaction cost when dealing with _real_ money (into PayPal or out of PayPal), but don't when you use money that is already in your 'digital wallet'. Actually I'm not sure, I get so confused between all these online wallet things (PayPal, Google Wallet etc). Real banks should just get with the times and make international payments easier.

It is pretty simple: if the majority (or even a minority) thought, Michael would do a bad job, they could just fork FPC/Lazarus and prove they could do better.

When this issue cropped up on the mailing list, I went and reviewed the
archive. You link to Michael finally "snapping", and even then he wasn't
rude or out of place at all; I agree with Michael that the emails in the
archives speak for themselves.
Michael seems extremely patient and completely professional - traits that I
find productive in any environment. He's given you multiple chances to drop
it, and even offered to welcome you back if you changed your communication
methods. You're clearly extremely talented - which is absolutely useless
without the soft skills to get your changes considered effectively.
Perhaps brushing up on interpersonal communication would be beneficial.
In any event, I think if everyone just said, "Gee, I got heated, I am
sorry, we can all learn from this", we could all move on and FPC would be
better for it. A split in a community that is already small is detrimental
for new users and is unprofessional from a business perspective - how would
we expect a business to use tools from a community that can't even agree
enough to produce canonical items, or work to resolve technical issues
without serious fracture?

This would be good. I think that clear rules are always fine. Also the very
important is to not concentrate all power in the hand of one person without
any control (for example in much smaller project like NewPascal I don't
have exclusive control). Some time ago I was involved in many parts of work
in FPC compiler (generics.collections, management operators other fixes for
compiler and new features in progress) but in the case of personal
conflict, project has no instance of appeal or regulations or any code of
conduct. So instead of coding I need to waste time to shows what happened.
Sadly...
It looks like David's fight with Goliath. Anyway the truth is important.
All is fine when someone has the same opinion like Michael Van Canneyt. The
style of communication with Michael is visible in this thread, when he know
he is not right he is just ignoring messages, but he is first to throw the
rock. He is using power - not arguments. No one can do anything because he
has full control on all infrastructure.
Admin, lead of project, programmer and foundation ruler in one person? Too
much power always corrupts.

I am not sure if I understand the translation correctly. Anyway, maybe the structure of the existing foundation should be improved instead of creating a new one. A better web page providing more information would be a step forward. Yes, I am frustrated by the situation but so are the foundation's members. There are no resources, meaning voluntary people, to improve things. Financial donation is one thing but building the infrastructure is equally important. The foundation shoud reach a "critical mass" so that more people get involved. It clearly is not reached yet. Edivando, I tried to explain the situation to you also in a private mail.

Re: [Lazarus] Crowdfunding to speed up the development of pas2js in Lazarus Widgetset and fpDebug to FPC
Ok se vocês pensam assim vou buscar apoio da comunidade para reformular a forma como os projetos do FPC/Lazarus/Pas2js são mantidos pela fundação. Vejo que apenas os interesses de poucos estão sendo priorizados e não da comunidade como um todo. Vou buscar apoio de projetos sólidos como o Mormort para ajudar nesses esforços e do NewPascal para ajudar nessa reestruturação. Juha estava indignado por nao encontrar os links do pas2js no site da fundação e ficou contestando i michael do motivo e que havia coisa errada. Depois de perceber que o link do projeto pas2js para doação estava como pascal for javascript não questionou mais nada(Acho meio estranho uma reação dessas). já que os principais mantenedores dos projetos não querem uma participação efetiva da comunidade nos futuros do FPC/Lazarus/Pas2JS acho uma iniciativa muito válida buscar interessados para uma reestruturação de uma nova fundação que coloquei como meta principal os interesses da comunidade. Vejo que seria melhor juntar esforços para uma comunidade pascal forte e unida para alcançar benefícios a todos, porém da forma que está hoje vejo que nao eh dessa forma que está acontecendo. Atenciosamente Edivando, Brasil - Google Translate - Okay if you think so I will seek community support to rephrase how the FPC / Lazarus / Pas2js projects are maintained by the foundation. I see that only the interests of the few are being prioritized, not the community as a whole. I will get support from solid projects like Mormort to help with these efforts and NewPascal to help with this restructuring. Juha was outraged that he could not find pas2js' links on the foundation's website and he objected to Michael's motive and that there was something wrong. After realizing that the link of the pas2js project for donation was like pascal for javascript did not question anything else (I think it kind of strange a reaction of these). since the main sponsors of the projects do not want an effective participation of the community in the FPC / Lazarus / Pas2JS futures. I think it is a very worthwhile initiative to seek out stakeholders for a restructuring of a new foundation that I have set as the main goal of the community's interests. I see that it would be better to join forces for a strong and united paschal community to achieve benefits for all, but in the way it is today I see that it is not that way that is happening. graciously Edivando, Brazil -- Sent from: http://free-pascal-lazarus.989080.n3.nabble.com/ -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus

I understand I should work to improve the issues myself instead of only writing. Still, the point here is that some crowdfunding sites are very attractive because they show all relevant information openly. They show how much more money is needed for a certain project to happen. I have wondered how they can collect so much money even for gadgets that are in an early planning stage. My black hole theory was not accurate, sorry about that. I believe you give all information when asked, but it is not obvious by looking at the web page. I really think all relevant data should be there, presented in an attractive way to "sell" the sub-projects. It would include Donate-buttons for each sub-project separately and other material to praise and advertise them.

Almost every page contains an invitation to contact us. Mails will end up in 2 mailboxes at least. Have you tried this ? I will admit without reservation that the website looks awful. I am not a HTML wizard, in fact, I am very bad at it. Yet something had to be made. So if someone wants the job of webmaster/webdesigner: he can have it. The foundation currently exists of 2 persons, we simply do not have time to be busy with the website. We want to get technical things done: pas2js demands an awful lot of time, and we honestly believe this is ensuring the future of pascal. Today I was at a meetup for TMS Web Core, built on pas2js and I think we're managing to convince other developers of this. So if someone wants to help out with the website, drafting bylaws and whatnot: Feel free to mail me. You will get all info you need or want. You will then notice that the perception of not being open is without ground, but simply a consequence of the horrible lack of time we experience.

If you want us to report publicly on the website: I don't think that this is necessary, but this can be discussed. In each case, there is nothing to hide: as said, most of the money has been paid to Mattias to develop pas2js. And both the chairman and me have added - out of our own pockets - to this a multiple of the amounts donated, otherwise pas2js would never have been realized. Your accusation of a black hole is therefor a) wholly ungrounded. Ask, and you will get answers. c) a sign you do not trust us. Given that you can profit from the results at no cost, this is strange. Or maybe you simply want to be at the steering wheel yourself ? I will remind you that I have for many years asked people on the mailing lists to create a foundation or some legal structure to be able to collect funds for FPC/Lazarus. No-one stepped up, so I had to do it myself with the help of an enthousiast supporter outside of the FPC/Lazarus community, the editor of Blaise Pascal magazine. Talk is cheap.

Re: [Lazarus] Crowdfunding to speed up the development of pas2js in Lazarus Widgetset and fpDebug to FPC
Boa noite, Estava me informando melhor a respeito da fundação freepascal ([url]https://foundation.freepascal.org/about[/url]) para onde os fundos de doações são redirecionados. Uma Página Web pouco profissional para os padrões de hoje. O estatuto da fundação diz estar sendo traduzido para o inglês e devido a isso não está disponível no site (muito estranho isso devido a tanto tempo de existência da fundação) e a opção para afiliação está indisponível pois o estatuto está sob revisão(outra coisa muito estranha para uma fundação com tanto tempo de existência e existir apenas 3 filiados). Acho que com uma política assim quem usa as ferramentas FPC/Lazarus/Pas2JS como uma solução completa para sua Software House fica um pouco apreensivo por uma parte fundamental da fundação (A Gestão da fundação) ficar em segundo plano. Vejo que se a comunidade quer ser projetos feitos usando as soluçoes FPC/Lazarus competitivas no cenário de TI temos que modernizar também essa situação pois parece que o interesse da comunidade não está sendo ouvida pela fundação da melhor forma possível. Eu mesmo estou tentando dar ideias para uma revitalização da comunidade com novos nichos de contribuições e fui questionado pelo Michael com o seguinte texto: [i]“Why do you need a separate crowdfunding effort, if the Free Pascal and Lazarus foundation has been created specially for this ? Michael.”. [/i] Não sei dizer se o michael seria o mesmo “Michael Van Canneyt (secretary)” secretário da fundação Free Pascal, mais se for o mesmo fica um pouco estranho questionamentos como esse pelo cargo que ele representa. Busco acima de tudo que meus produtos construídos com as soluções FPC/Lazarus sejam competitivos no mercado e somente com uma política de colaboração transparente e efetiva vejo isso possível. Repito gostaria de ver iniciativas crowdfunding onde esse processo de doações fosse mais transparentes e mais efetivas para o interesse dos doadores. Peço a colaboração da comunidade que discuta sobre o assunto pois não adianta dar prioridade a detalhes pontuais tais como ícones, métodos anônimos, compatibilidade com alguma plataforma em desuso por grande período, quando o futura está jogando na nossa cara que só vamos permanecer com os nossos projetos (Sistemas e Códigos Legados) se o grupo central de desenvolvimento FPC/Lazarus/Pas2js forem transparentes com relação aos rumos a seguir, bem remunerados e permitir a participação da comunidade com relação às tomadas de decisão sobre os novos horizontes a seguir. Coisa que nao estou encontrando a cada dia que passa me aprofundando mais na comunidade. Atenciosamente Edivando, Brasil - [b]Google Translate[/b] - Good night, I was being told more about the freepascal foundation ([url]https://foundation.freepascal.org/about[/url]) where donor funds are redirected. An Unprofessional Web Page by today's standards. The statute of the foundation claims to be being translated into English and because of this it is not available on the site (very strange because of the existence of the foundation) and the option for membership is unavailable because the statute is under review strange for a foundation with so much time of existence and to exist only 3 affiliated). I think with such a policy anyone who uses the FPC / Lazarus / Pas2JS tools as a complete solution for their Software House gets a little apprehensive as a key part of the foundation (The Management of the foundation) stand in the background. I see that if the community wants to be projects made using the competitive FPC / Lazarus solutions in the IT scenario we have to modernize this situation as well, it seems that the interest of the community is not being heard by the foundation in the best possible way. I myself am trying to give ideas for a revitalization of the community with new niches of contributions and I was questioned by Michael with the following text: [i]"Why do you need a separate crowdfunding effort, if the Free Pascal and Lazarus foundation has been created specially for this? Michael. "[/i] I do not know if Michael would be the same "Michael Van Canneyt (secretary)" secretary of the Free Pascal Foundation, but if it is the same it gets a little strange questionings like this for the position he represents. I seek above all that my products built with FPC / Lazarus solutions are competitive in the market and only with a transparent and effective collaboration policy do I see this possible. I repeat would like to see crowdfunding initiatives where this donation process would be more transparent and more effective for the interest of the donors. I ask the collaboration of the community that discusses the subject because it is no use to give priority to specific details such as icons, anonymous methods, compatibility with some platform in disuse for a long period, when the future is playing in our face that we will only stay with our projects (

Pas2JS was supported by the foundation more than any other project, if I understood right. Now looking at its home page: https://foundation.freepascal.org/ I don't see Pas2JS even listed in the projects page. Why? The main page says about donations: "If you would like to donate money for a specific project, see our donations page page. A list of past donors can be seen in our Hall of fame." However there is no way to donate for a specific project. The money goes into a black hole. Its usage for various projects is not reported even afterwards. I understand it is a turn-off for people like Edivando who want to support a particular sub-project. When the foundation was discussed, I remember there was a request to publish data about the money flow and projects supported. I don't find data anywhere else either. Google+ community was closed. Are there other places to look at? I think "Google+ community" should be removed from the About page.

Re: [Lazarus] Crowdfunding to speed up the development of pas2js in Lazarus Widgetset and fpDebug to FPC
Boa tarde, Vejo que para projetos específicos onde os usuários estão procurando soluções com uma rapidez maior seria viável essa modalidade pois dessa forma o usuário poderia cobrar do andamento do processo pois de certa forma estaria ajudando diretamente no pagamento do projeto, porém sem direito aos fontes por se manterem open source. Eu mesmo tenho minha empresa e tenho que colocar na balança o tempo necessário para uma solução ficar pronta (widgetset Pas2JS) ou comprar um produto fechado (TMS Web Core) . Acho que dessa forma fica mais fácil pra quem precisa avaliar cenários para investir em escolhas tecnológicas. Sinto que hoje da forma que esta, fica um pouco vago de quando um solução se tornará real para o uso pois depende de muitos contribuidores nos quais a maioria da comunidade nem sabe quem são os participantes e com um mercado tão competitivo e com tantas soluções para Web Open Source e de aparência maravilhosa, sinto que se a comunidade pascal não se tornar mais revolucionária em alguns pontos poderemos ficar pra traz. Onde acarretaria falta de mão de obra qualificada para manutenção e inovações em nossos produtos. Em um mundo desktop acho que as soluções FPC/Lazarus estão num grau de maturidade muito alto permitindo ao seus usuarios alta competitividade nos seus produtos.Porém no mundo mobile e web no cenário atual sinto que estamos bem atrasados e não custaria unir esforços com novas opções para investimento direto. Exemplo uma empresa oferece uma solução widgetset para Android com custo de X, as pessoas interessadas investem neste fundo até chegar ao valor contratado e a empresa desenvolve a solução liberando ao projeto FPC/Lazarus as bibliotecas desenvolvidas.Tudo isso controlado por um órgão FPC/Lazarus onde ditaria as mudanças necessárias, os cronogramas e tudo relacionado ao projeto. Atenciosamente Edivando, Brasil - Google Translate - Good afternoon, I see that for specific projects where users are looking for solutions with greater speed would be feasible this way because in this way the user could charge of the progress of the process because in a way it would be directly aiding in the payment of the project, but without the right to the sources to remain open source. I myself have my company and I have to put in the balance the time it takes for a solution to be ready (widgetset Pas2JS) or buy a closed product (TMS Web Core). I think this way it is easier for those who need to evaluate scenarios to invest in technological choices. I feel that today as it is, it is a little vague of when a solution will become real for use because it depends on many contributors in which the majority of the community does not know who the participants are and with such a competitive market and with so many solutions for Open Source Web and wonderful appearance, I feel that if the paschal community does not become more revolutionary in some points we can stay behind. It would entail a shortage of skilled labor for maintenance and innovations in our products. In a desktop world I think that FPC / Lazarus solutions are in a very high degree of maturity, allowing its users to be highly competitive in their products. But in the mobile and web world in the current scenario, I feel that we are well behind schedule and would not cost to join forces with new options for direct investment. Example a company offers a widgetset solution for Android with cost of X, the interested people invest in this fund until reaching the value contracted and the company develops the solution releasing to the project FPC / Lazarus the libraries developed. All this controlled by an organ FPC / Lazarus where it would dictate the necessary changes, the schedules and everything related to the project. graciously Edivando, Brazil -- Sent from: http://free-pascal-lazarus.989080.n3.nabble.com/ -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
Re: [Lazarus] Crowdfunding to speed up the development of pas2js in Lazarus Widgetset and fpDebug to FPC
Why do you need a separate crowdfunding effort, if the Free Pascal and Lazarus foundation has been created specially for this ? Michael.
