Open source sustainment and the future of Gitea

I also read it more like a explanation that the donation model didn't work towards a sustainable long-term development, where with the new strategy they can collect money from larger organizations to keep the project funded. I think it is positive and sheds some light on how donation models with good intentions rarely work.

Sad but true. At least at scale.
Even in the age where crowdfunding has taken off.I walked the Camino (de Santiago), and there are quite a few
donativo
based refreshment stops. Many take and don't give anything.Similar concept is
pay what it's worth

Great concept but the majority abuse it. -

It seems there is now a fork of Gitea here : https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo

Codeberg just announced support for Forgejo. It’s a soft fork and a drop-in replacement for Gitea. Let’s switch to a fork with a future.
