How Donations Are Used

Donations flow directly into the Open Publishing Systems project and are allocated to concrete, measurable work. Funds support core software development, documentation, hosting, and ongoing maintenance. They also enable outreach to new communities, multilingual expansion, and accessibility improvements that broaden the platform’s reach.

In practical terms, your support helps cover ongoing server costs, code review and security audits, translation efforts, and user testing across devices and assistive technologies. We publish simple, public summaries of how funds are applied, along with project milestones, so contributors can see progress over time.

Community Voices

As a contributor and reader, I value the open standards and governance that keep this ecosystem healthy. Your support makes sustained development possible.

Transparency And Trust

We believe in accountability and open communication. The project maintains public funding reports, accessible governance documents, and open metrics that track progress against milestones. You can expect regular updates, audit notes, and clear timelines for feature releases.

All decisions are guided by an inclusive model that invites feedback from contributors around the world. We publish summaries of decisions, post meeting notes, and provide a roadmap that reflects community priorities. This approach reduces ambiguity and builds lasting trust with readers, editors, and partners alike.
