Hi,

We have set up a Pharo on the new Salt platform of bountysource:

This is an easy way to support pharo development. If you support above a certain threshold, being a Salt supporter includes a membership for the Pharo Association.

All those free funds held... the bank interest probably pays all the operational costs, plus profit before even they charge that 10% when cashing out. But I consider that a reasonable trade off if it helps maintain the credibility. cheers -ben

I just became a Gold Supporter of the team and helped it reach its $100 minimum salt. I think if we promote it enough, we can get much much more than that. Regards! Esteban A. Maringolo 2016-01-21 6:45 GMT-03:00 Marcus Denker <marcus.denker@inria.fr>:
