I've been developing, supporting, helping and hanging out in the Tcl, Fail2ban, nginx and many other open source projects for a lot of years.

Over the years of their development, some projects experienced a huge growth of codebase, complexity and community.
Many tasks and todos must be completed, each issue should be processed, every fix, PR or RFE should be reviewed, etc. For many of colleagues and coworkers (as well as for myself) this is not a primary job, so the development as well as the support became a very time consuming process, but I always hoped, it might become more efficient with some official ways to collect donations or even setup collaborations with some financial influx. Now it seems to have become possible.

As already said, working on all the projects is a sideline, so the time and energy I could spend for this is limited.
With your help, it could be changed. Each contribution, no matter how small, can reasonably show me that this or that project is needed, the features I plan to develop and provide are desired, can help me to invest more time and effort for the projects or even bring me closer to being able to make all this in a full-time (don't tell this my employer;).

Many thanks in advance from me and the projects community for your contribution!
