- moelf 3y agohttps://krita.org/en/item/intel-becomes-first-krita-development-fund-corporate-gold-patron/ https://krita.org/en/item/intel-becomes-first-krita-developm... maybe that has ended
- hallarempt 3y agoNo, it's still actual, but they don't have a listing the fund.krita.org database because they sponsored us directly.
- danShumway 3y agoMinor suggestion: I understand that for organizational purposes and clarity it might make sense to have them separate, but I suspect merging those stats together on this page might be better for the project overall? I suspect (but don't have evidence for this) that sponsorship tends to snowball -- corporations become more likely to sponsor products that are already being sponsored; and the harm from users thinking that the project has "enough" funding might be outweighed from the benefits of users and orgs thinking, "it's normal to sponsor Krita, we're not doing something weird or experimental by jumping on the bandwagon." Again, just an instinct though, I could be wrong, and I get that this page being part of a larger existing funding platform might make including direct sponsors more contentious or inappropriate.
- krisoft 3y agoSounds like a thing you should fix then? As a software engineer I understand what you are saying, but it is incredibly misleading then.
