Brian Teeman wrote a blog post not long ago, where he suggested several ways that Joomla could do more than it currently does, but that they all required extra funding.
Now, he suggest a solution to the funding challenges of the Joomla project.
He proposes the idea of a Joomla Supporters Club - creating an easy way for individuals, companies and groups to financially support the project. He writes:
The Supporters Club conveys no rights or privileges and is merely a way for individuals, web sites and companies to support joomla and to receive acknowledgment for their support.
I think it is a great idea. There are some challenges, though. The project needs to be administrered by someone, the legal sides of it needs to be cleared out and the pricing model must reflect the various income levels across the globe. But, as Brian says, it is an idea - and it needs more work.
What do you think about this idea?
