[Members] Re: Expose donation information at xmpp.org

Hello everyone, Thanks Eddie for bringing up this conversation! This is something I was thinking about too, in the context of discontinuation of our fiscal hosting programme. Our newsletter listed donation pages for our fiscally hosted projects, and I thought we could use the opportunity to "decouple" it from fiscal hosting as it were and list any XMPP project that was looking for funding, not just ones under our (deprecated) fiscal hosting programme. Taking the information from a DOAP file is a brilliant idea! I was thinking we would need to have a conversation about how to vet the donation pages before listing them and who would do that work, but we can bypass that by delegating it to the DOAP file which is already controlled by the project in question (which we have consciously reviewed and decided to add to our listing) To be clear, I am not pushing for inclusion of the newsletter; we can have that as a different conversation. And like Eddie I will not start a discussion about the DOAP standard either :-P TLDR: I support the idea of publicising donation information about XMPP projects in some form, and pulling it in a low-effort way from the respective project repos sounds like a good way to go about it. Best, Badri
