Programming, testing, translating etc. all takes time and effort. Although our ultimate goal is for the benefit of all humanity, financially supporting this project allows more time and expertise to be deployed, which should result in faster development and improvements plus entice others with the right expertise to get involved.
We aim to add target goals that – once achieved – will unlock pledged funds to the primary contributors. These should naturally evolve as this project grows and matures, but initially we will just have an initial fund for early developers of the project.
