Crowdfunding Platform For Drupal Development Launches

Posted by timothy on from the not-just-a-money-laundering-scheme-any-more dept.

angry tapir writes "A team of developers has launched a new crowdfunding platform — Drupalfund.us — that's designed to help accelerate development work on the open-source Drupal CMS, as well as potentially fund new training material and other projects of interest to community members. I had a long-ish chat to one of the co-founders about the goals of the platform and how crowdfunding can be used to push forward open source development."

    I have a confession to make, my dear Slashdotters. Up until now, you've all believed me to be nothing more than an ordinary, weak Slashdot reader, but in truth... I'm a professional snap dancer! Such a thing!

    I also work for a hosting company, and Drupal is not a problem (unlike Joomla, for example). Not even for slashdotted sites. Oh, we also use drupal for our own (very high traffic) main site.

    To add to the delusion, check those figures. 970000 * 0.5% * 0.5% = 24.25, so their figures check out only if employing someone costs no more than their salary. Reality check: it costs between 50% and 100% more. They also assume that two dozen developers won't need any management. And frankly they would be better off employing 6 technical writers to document the system.
