Dear all!
The game has become important, transparency always pays off and, for an open source project, is a must. Might it be time to start accounting to donors for revenue and expenditure flows with a document [Activity and Financial Report] that may be informal and not certified, but transparent?
imho it would make the whole project appear more solid, stable and serious, encouraging even more supporter.

Hi Manoj.
To be concrete about what I mean with “Activity and Financial Report” and give a real example I extracted a document from a different sector (but also “open knowledge”
https://sea-watch.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/sea-watch_annual-report-2018-en-1.pdf
As you may see it presents data about resources involved (payed or voluntier), number of people involved for various reasons, in and out cash-flow, other specificities.
I know that will involve time to get it done, but I’m also shure that, looking to the project numbers in such a way may be an internal surprise and set an instrument to stop any “gossip” that such a project will raised, expecially when “big brother” will discover and say “hey, is running, lets try to stop them!”.
bye,
diego

I’m more interested in degoogle myself => more interested in /e/ services like nextcloud [payied] space or mail *
