@timbray “We aim to cover the running costs of our public instance through donations.” Sounds like a solid plan. Also, “I believe it can be self-sustainable if enough people subscribe to the support plans.” Vague, but there is also mention of SLA possibilities. Optimism isn't so bad. Did I assert that you weren´t? (edit: optimistic… or did? grammar is tricky) The founders of the project are deploying something useful, asking for donations, and hope to offer additional plans from what they have so far. We´re working on a bunch of open source stuff with a similar mindset, optimism isn´t so bad. They seem to have it, it keeps us going… and it isn´t so easy to come by in some quarters. |
@timbray imagine that, someone realising that excessive infrastructure is costly.
