If you are unable to donate the time and/or skills required to help develop this initiative, but still want to help…
Development costs are one time expenses. The current focuse on our prototype with basic functionality. Once that is developed, we will use community feature funding to determine which features to develop next.
The operational costs are mainly driven by providing some income for our full/part time team members that put in a significant amount of time. Also included are other costs such as websites hosting services and legal and accounting costs.
