Consider that, if done not enough carefully, that could provide interesting information to Nextcloud competitors.
I do remember an answer by @jospoortvliet about crowdfunding:
That was 2017, in the meantime Nextcloud closed 2019 with record numbers (Nextcloud doubles order intake and customer base, remains profitable and independent - Nextcloud).
Yet it is true that a layered model of financing, maybe similar to the Blender one (https://fund.blender.org/ ), could
- become interesting enough for Nextcloud GmbH
- become a start for Nextcloud GmbH to develop a strategy towards small/medium businesses
- become a way for the community to be involved
Additionally, I hope that @jospoortvliet will not get mad with me if I reiterate a suggestion I gave before.
I am finding really interesting information “buried” at post 67 of a long thread in the forum. And I do think it took Jos time to write it down.
Maybe a section in the forum with a summary of this information could be useful…
Maybe some help with it from the community could be useful…
Maybe some of the readers could help in developing this document / these documents…
Thanks Jos for the insights, always food for thought!!!
