++Background: pcb-rnd is a gpl licensed circuit board layout program forked from +the pcb project. This site is for initial fundraising to free up addtional +pcb-rnd dev time for the lead developer igor2. Currently, pcb-rnd development +time is carved from igor2's spare hours in the early morning, evening, weekends, +and holidays. +
+All funds donated here will go towards this additional pcb-rnd development time. +
+Motivation: As cschem and genxproj take up a larger share of free time for +development, it will be important to free up some normal working hours in order +to sustain the development of pcb-rnd. Regardless of the sucess or failure of +this effort, work on pcb-rnd will continue, but it will just take longer to +reach the milestones. +
+Motivation part two: You just received shiny new pcbs back from the fab, +they were developed with pcb-rnd and they look great. Now, you can now send a $5 +or other amount as a thank you to the lead developer of pcb-rnd. +
+Alternative option: funding feature development
Another option is to pay for
+development of pcb-rnd features you or your company requires. Inquire with igor2
+about feature development with pcb-rnd
+
+Goals:
+At this time, supporting extra devoted time for pcb-rnd development is very
+affordable. some metrics for support:
+
+Four supporters pledging $12/month ($48/month total) activates more than a regular
+working day's of development per month. Sustaining donations of over
+$100usd equivalent per week enables part time work towards pcb-rnd development.
+Since starting this project, this target has come into reach, and I'm looking to
+taking this to the next level with fiscal sponsorship and a casting a wider call
+for donations to the pcb-rnd project.
