-## What's coming next
-
-> Too many ideas, too little time!
-
-Our backlog is filled with countless ideas that we came up with or that have
-been suggested by our community. We're also working to make our roadmap public.
-If you have something specific in mind, and wonder whether we've considered it,
-feel free to ask on our [discussion board].
-
- [discussion board]: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/discussions
-
-## Frequent releases
-
-We’re committed to quickly addressing bugs, that come up and keeping our open
-issue count as low as possible. Both our community and Insiders editions are
-regularly updated, ensuring you have the latest features and fixes available at
-all times.
-
-## Additional benefits
-
-As a premium sponsors, you'll enjoy additional benefits that are not available
-to our individual sponsors. When sponsoring our work on one of our [commercial
-tiers] starting at [$125 a month], you'll get additional benefits that we offer
-for enterprises:
-
-- [Prioritized] bug reports to keep your projects running smoothly
-- Logo placement and backlink on our site for increased visibility
-- Private support via email for any questions to our maintainers

-## Funding
-
-### Goals
-
-The following section lists all funding goals. Each goal contains a list of
-features prefixed with a checkmark symbol, denoting whether a feature is
-:octicons-check-circle-fill-24:{ style="color: #00e676" } already available or
-:octicons-check-circle-fill-24:{ style="color: var(--md-default-fg-color--lightest)" }
-planned, but not yet implemented. This means that each funding goal unlocks new
-features for general availability in the community edition, after sponsors have
-used them for a while.

-# Calling for Community Experts
-
-Interested in joining the Material for MkDocs team as a Community Expert?
-We're on the lookout for individuals who are passionate about supporting our
-awesome community. In return for your valuable contributions, time, and
-insights, __you'll gain free access to the Insiders edition__.
-
-## Why we need you
-
-As our project and community continue to grow, so do the questions and needs of
-our users on our discussion board. Our discussion board is a vital part of our
-project, serving as a hub for our community to connect and a valuable knowledge
-base to complement our documentation.
-
-We're eager to keeping it well-maintained, organized, easy to search and address
-all queries which is why we need extra hands to keep up with the demand.
-
-That's why we're building a team of Community Experts!
-
-## Your role
-
-As a Community Expert, your role primarily involves active participation on
-our [discussion board], where we'd expect you to be:
-
-- Answering discussions to help users with their questions
-- Providing guidance regarding implementations
-- Sharing insights into customizations and workarounds
-- Optimizing searchability by adjusting discussion titles with relevant keywords
-
-## Your benefits
-
-Here is a list of the benefits we offer to our Community Experts:
-
-- __Free access to Material for MkDocs Insiders__ – Exclusive Access to all of
- our Material for MkDocs Insiders features for _non-commercial use_.[^1]
-
-- __Close communication with the team__ – Stay connected with us through various
- channels, including calls and internal project management tools.
-
-- __GitHub profile boost__ – Enhance your GitHub profile's visibility and
- credibility as your activity increases, earning you valuable badges that can
- enhance your credibility.
-
- [^1]:
- Access to Insiders is granted to your primary account, i.e., the account
- with which you're contributing to the project. It cannot be transferred to
- another account. Additionally, it cannot be used for commercial purposes.
-
-## Your knowledge & skills
-
-To be a successful Community Expert, your skills should include the following:
-
-- __Material and MkDocs allrounder__ – You have an understanding of Material
- for MkDocs and the MkDocs ecosystem, including many of its extensions and
- plugins.
-
-- __Great communicator__ – You enjoy helping others in a productive,
- constructive and friendly manner and use inclusive and welcoming language.
-
-- __Independent worker__ – You are self-motivated, stay up-to-date with
- project developments, regularly check the discussion board, and respond to
- notifications in reasonable time.
-
- [discussion board]: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/discussions
- [documentation]: https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/
- [contribution guides]: ../contributing/index.md
-
-## Your time commitment
-
-We don't require a fixed number of hours each week; instead, we ask for a
-minimum of __five answered discussions per month[^2]__, which amounts to
-slightly more than one per week. Your active interaction within the community is
-highly valued.
-
-To do this effectively, it's best to regularly check the discussion board to see
-where you can offer help. The time you invest may vary depending on the
-complexity of the topics and questions.
-
-Upon joining, you'll receive access to the Insiders' edition for as long as you
-continue to assist us. Access will be renewed every three months, allowing you
-the flexibility to continue your contributions or take a break as needed.
-
- [^2]:
- An answered discussion is a collaborative interaction where knowledge and
- expertise are shared, resulting in resolutions or clarifications that benefit
- the user and our entire community. In essence, it embodies the spirit of
- cooperation and support within our community, highlighting the power of
- collective wisdom and the willingness to assist and uplift one another.
-
-## Ready to get started?
-
-Since we have a limited number of seats for these roles[^3], we would like to
-get to know you before you become one of our Community Experts. Here's how to
-get started:
-
- [^3]:
- Please note that we're currently limiting the number of seats on the
- Community Experts program to three. We will update this page when we'll

-# How to sponsor
-
-Becoming a sponsor for Material for MkDocs is a straightforward process through
-@squidfunk's [GitHub Sponsors profile]. By supporting
-the project with a monthly contribution of __$15 a month__ or more, you can sponsor
-either via an [individual] or [organizational] GitHub account.
-
- [GitHub Sponsors profile]: https://github.com/sponsors/squidfunk
- [individual]: access-management.md/#individuals
- [organizational]: access-management.md/#organizations
-
-## Walkthrough
-
-Want to become a sponsor? We will guide you through the sponsoring process below
-If you have additional questions, you can find detailed information about
-[payment and billing], [access management], [runtime and cancellation],
-[privacy], [license] and [support] on dedicated pages.
-
- [payment and billing]: payment-and-billing.md
- [access management]: access-management.md
- [runtime and cancellation]: runtime-and-cancellation.md
- [privacy]: privacy.md
- [license]: license.md
- [support]: ../support.md
-
-### Sponsoring tier
-
-First, it's a good idea to explore [our sponsoring tiers], as each sponsoring
-tier is designed to accommodate different levels of sponsors and includes
-dedicated benefits.
-
-After reviewing the sponsoring tiers, it's time to choose one. Consider what you
-want to achieve and keep your requirements in mind, e.g. the number of projects
-you want to build or how many accounts you need. [Switching tiers] is possible
-at any time.
-
-Choosing a tier will take you to GitHub's sponsorship confirmation page.
-
- [our sponsoring tiers]: sponsoring-tiers.md
- [Switching tiers]: sponsoring-tiers.md/#switching-tiers
-
-### Sponsorship summary
-
-#### Payment and billing
-
-Next, GitHub will ask you to provide your billing information, which is required
-to process your sponsorship payment. On this page, the _Sponsorship summary_
-section displays the (possibly prorated) amount due to initiate your sponsorship.
-This amount is determined by your account's [billing cycle], which can be set to
-a monthly or yearly interval.
-
- [billing cycle]: https://docs.github.com/en/github/setting-up-and-managing-billing-and-payments-on-github/changing-the-duration-of-your-billing-cycle
-
-Proceed to input your [payment information], specifically your credit card
-details. Please make sure that the used credit card is valid and will remain
-so for an extended period to help avoid any interruptions in your sponsorship.
-
- [payment information]: payment-and-billing.md
-
-#### Privacy
-
-On this page, you can also set the visibility of your sponsorship. You have the
-option to keep your [sponsorship private or to make it public], which includes
-listing your name or organization on the list of [our sponsors] and, for
-organizations, the opportunity for [logo placement].
-
- [sponsorship private or to make it public]: privacy.md
- [our sponsors]: our-sponsors.md
- [logo placement]: our-sponsors.md/#premium-sponsors
-
-#### News and updates
-
-Note that we rarely send out emails, and when we do, it's usually to inform you
-about significant updates or changes to the project, so it's best to keep this
-option enabled. To stay updated on the latest developments, you can check out
-our [changelog].
-
- [changelog]: ../changelog/index.md
-
-#### Tax information
-
-If you're sponsoring as an organization, it's essential to provide your country,
-region and VAT number, so we can correctly attribute your sponsorship. This is
-due to the fact that VAT is handled differently for individuals than for
-organizations.
-
-#### Confirmation
-
-Before finalizing your sponsorship, take a moment to review all the details of
-your sponsorship, including the selected tier, billing information, and payment
-details.
-
-Then proceed to confirm your sponsorship by clicking the _Sponsor_ button.
-
-### Access management
-
-After completing the sponsorship process and your payment is successfully
-processed, you will be all set to [gain access] to the private Material for
-MkDocs Insiders repository.

-# License
-
-Material for MkDocs Insiders is licensed under the [MIT license], the exact
-same license used for the community edition. The MIT license is a permissive
-license that allows commercial use, redistribution, and everything else as
-long as the original authors are credited in source files.
-
-The MIT license is the [most popular license] among all Open Source projects.
-
- [MIT license]: https://opensource.org/license/mit
- [most popular license]: https://opensource.org/blog/the-most-popular-licenses-for-each-language-2023
-
-## MIT License
-
-The MIT License gives you the freedom to work with the code with minimal
-restrictions. When using Material for MkDocs Insiders or the community edition,
-make sure to __include the copyright notice__ and avoid future liability claims.
-Its appeal lies in its simplicity and clear terms, making it a go-to for
-projects of any scale. Its popularity stems from its simplicity, clarity,
-and development-friendly terms, making it suitable for all types of projects.
-The MIT License ensures that anyone – individual or organization – can use
-Material for MkDocs Insiders under the same conditions as the community edition.
-
-### Advantages of MIT
-
-The MIT License is favored for its balance between freedom and protection,
-appealing to those who find GNU/GPL licenses too restrictive or advocate for
-privatized software. Its broad wording supports both open community development
-and the use of components in proprietary software.
-
-### MIT in open source
-
-Material for MkDocs stands out for being open source, developed by a small,
-user-oriented team committed to delivering high-quality tools for the community.
-Here’s what this means for you:
-
-- __Independence from investors:__ Our focus is purely on developing the
-project and guiding it without external pressures. This freedom means we’re all
-about what’s best for the community and the project's future.
-- __Freedom from vendor lock-in:__ Thanks to Open Source principles, you can use
-Material for MkDocs without any strings attached. Customize or integrate it
-into your projects without worrying about restrictions. Your docs belong to you,
-and you are free to change the software at any time.
-- __Ecosystem Development:__ Material for MkDocs is more than a tool; it's a
-community-driven effort to build an ecosystem, which it already is. Through open
-collaboration, we’re constantly adding new extensions, plugins, and integrations
-to give you more tools at your disposal.
-
-## Fair use policy
-
-Our fair use policy is here to ensure the project continues to thrive, which is
-why we request that our sponsors respect the following:
-
-- __Source Code Distribution:__ Keeping our sponsorware model intact means we
-count on you not to distribute the Insiders source code. While you're encouraged
-to privately [fork], or [mirror] the private Insiders repository for your needs,
-__keeping the source private__ is key. If this guideline is violated,
-everybody loses, as it will reduce the time of us maintainers we could otherwise
-set aside to push this project forward.
-- __Sponsorship tiers:__ We base our sponsorship tiers on non-commercial or
-commercial use and ask our sponsors to respect these requirements when
-initiating a sponsorship. Additionally, we base our sponsoring tiers on the number
-of sites you intend to build. Please upgrade your sponsorship accordingly to
-support the project’s growth and ensure its continued development.

-# Payment and billing
-
-Since we host our repositories on GitHub, including both the Material for MkDocs
-community edition and the private Insiders edition, [GitHub Sponsors] is a
-natural fit for handling all financial transactions, as well as for access
-management to the Insiders repository.
-
-Therefore, to become a sponsor of Material for MkDocs, a [GitHub account] is mandatory.
-
- [GitHub Sponsors]: https://github.com/sponsors
- [GitHub account]: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/start-your-journey/creating-an-account-on-github
-
-## Payment
-
-GitHub Sponsors currently only accepts payments via credit card, as they
-[removed support for PayPal] at the beginning of 2023. When
-entering your credit card details, ensure that the card remains [valid over an
-extended period] to prevent any disruptions to your sponsorship.
-
- [valid over an extended period]: runtime-and-cancellation.md#automatic-cancellation
- [removed support for PayPal]: https://github.blog/changelog/2023-01-23-github-sponsors-will-stop-supporting-paypal/
-
-## Invoices
-
-GitHub Sponsors automatically issues and send a payment receipt via email after
-each billing cycle. These receipts serve as confirmation of payment rather than
-formal invoices. As all transactions are managed by [GitHub Sponsors], GitHub is
-your primary point of contact for payment and billing matters, not us.
-
-If you need an official invoice from us for your records, please get in touch
-with us at sponsors@squidfunk.com before initiating your sponsorship.
-
-## Refunds
-
-Our team does not have insights or access to details related to sponsorship
-transactions of our sponsors, as GitHub does not provide us with this
-information. For questions regarding payment issues or for more detailed
-information about your sponsorship, please get in touch with the [GitHub
-support] team.
-
- [GitHub support]: https://support.github.com/
-
-## Discounts
-
-Unfortunately, we can't offer discounts. To ensure that everyone in our
-community can afford to become a sponsor, we keep the barrier low and set
-prices as low as possible, starting at [\$15 a month][15] for
-[non-commercial use] and at [\$125 a month][125] for [commercial use].
-

- [commercial use]: sponsoring-tiers.md/#commercial-use
-
-## Free access
-
-Free access to the Insiders edition is only granted exclusively to our [Community
-Experts] and to selected members of the MkDocs ecosystem. Our Community Experts
-program is designed to recognize and reward users who significantly contribute
-to the community by sharing their expertise on our [discussion board].
-
-Our discussion board facilitates the exchange of insights on workarounds, setups,
-and features and addresses queries from users at all levels of experience. All
-communication is public and visible for the entire community, benefitting
-everyone.
-
-Community experts not only enrich our project but also enable our team to focus
-on continuous improvement and the development of new features. Therefore, we are
-happy to provide them with free access to the private Insiders repository and
-encourage you to [join the team] as well!

- [join the team]: community-experts-program/index.md/#ready-to-get-started
-
-## Billing cycle
-
-The [billing cycle] is an account-level setting on GitHub and is set to monthly
-or yearly. It can be changed at any time, so you might want to check the setting
-before sponsoring and change it either to monthly or yearly according to your
-own or your organization's preferences.
-
-If, for whatever reason, you cannot change your billing cycle, a practical
-solution is to create a dedicated [GitHub bot account] where you set the billing
-cycle accordingly and use it specifically for your sponsorship contributions.
-This is a strategy many of our organizational sponsors have successfully
-implemented.
-
-If you experience any difficulties or have further questions before sponsoring,
-please don't hesitate to contact us at sponsors@squidfunk.com for additional
-support.

-# Privacy
-
-Transparency is at the heart of our sponsorware model, which includes our
-funding goals, the features we're working towards, and, importantly, the
-acknowledgment of our sponsors. As a sponsor, you can support our project
-either [publicly] or [privately], according to your preference.
-
- [publicly]: #public-sponsors
- [privately]: #private-sponsors
-
-## Public sponsors
-
-By default, GitHub lists all sponsorships publicly. To sponsor privately, you
-must explicitly select this option. When sponsoring publicly, your GitHub
-account will be listed as part of [our sponsors], @squidfunk's [sponsoring page],
-and within the "sponsoring" section of your GitHub account.

- [our sponsors]: our-sponsors.md
- [sponsoring page]: https://github.com/sponsors/squidfunk?metadata_origin=docs
-
-## Private sponsors
-
-For those preferring discretion, [setting your sponsorship to private] during
-the sponsorship initiation process ensures your sponsorship remains unlisted,
-keeping your affiliation with Material for MkDocs confidential.
-
-This setting can be adjusted at any time through your GitHub account's
-sponsorship settings.
-
-For companies concerned about being visible as sponsors of any project due to
-their privacy restrictions, creating a [bot account] on GitHub that is solely
-used for sponsoring is advised. This account, set to sponsor privately, won't be
-linked to any individual within your organization and provides an extra layer of anonymity.

-## Administrative requests
-
-To focus on the development of our projects, we aim to reduce administrative
-tasks as much as possible for our small team, utilizing GitHub Sponsors for
-efficient sponsor management.
-
-### Vendor agreements
-
-Since GitHub Sponsors facilitates our sponsor transactions, they act as your
-vendor. For vendor agreements or related queries, especially for organizations
-with GitHub enterprise accounts, reaching out to [GitHub Support] is recommended.

-### Non-disclosure agreements
-
-Given our limited resources as a small team, we are unable to review and sign

-Sponsorships remain valid as long as monthly or yearly subscriptions are
-active and only expire when you cancel the sponsorship or when your [payment
-method expires].
-
- [payment method expires]: #automatic-cancellation
-
-## Cancellation process
-
-Canceling your sponsorship initiates a cancellation request through GitHub,
-which is scheduled to take effect at the end of your current billing cycle. This
-means you'll retain access to Insiders until the cancellation officially becomes
-effective.
-
-All transactions are processed by GitHub and as we don't receive any information
-regarding your payment, we can't provide details about when your cancellation
-will be in place.
-
-### How to cancel
-
-To downgrade or cancel your sponsorship, please follow the [step-by-step guide
-from GitHub]. If you have sponsored using an organizational account, ensure that
-you cancel the sponsorship under that specific account, as the
-[collaborator and sponsor accounts may differ].
-
- [step-by-step guide from GitHub]: https://docs.github.com/en/billing/managing-billing-for-github-sponsors/downgrading-a-sponsorship#canceling-a-sponsorship
- [collaborator and sponsor accounts may differ]: access-management.md/#collaborators
-
-### Effects of cancellation
-
-Upon the effective date of your cancellation, GitHub will automatically remove
-you as a collaborator from the private Material for MkDocs Insiders repository.
-You will no longer receive updates. However, you are welcome to continue using
-the latest version available to you at the time of cancellation for as long as
-you like.
-
-!!! warning "GitHub deletes private forks"
-
- Please note that once you lose your collaborator status, [GitHub will
- automatically delete your private fork] of the Insiders repository, so you
- may want to take steps to ensure that you have a local backup.
-
- [GitHub will automatically delete your private fork]: https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-access-to-your-personal-repositories/removing-a-collaborator-from-a-personal-repository#deleting-forks-of-private-repositories
-
-### Automatic cancellation
-
-If your credit card expires, GitHub will automatically cancel your sponsorship
-and remove you as a collaborator. Regularly checking your payment method is
-recommended to avoid unintended cancellations. If it happens, you can
-reinstate your sponsorship with a new credit card.

-# Sponsoring tiers
-
-We offer a range of sponsoring tiers tailored to the diverse needs of our
-community. Whether you're an individual user, or rooted in academia, or work in
-an organization using our software commercially, there's a sponsoring tier
-that suits your needs.
-
-## Choosing a tier
-
-Choosing the right sponsoring tier depends on your needs and how you intend to
-use Material for MkDocs Insiders. Our tiers are categorized into [non-commercial]
-and [commercial] use:
-
- - __Non-commercial tiers__: Intended for individuals, Open Source projects,
- and academic use

-
-Each [monthly sponsoring tier] offers a range of benefits tailored to your needs.
-Benefits include access to our private Material for MkDocs Insiders repository,
-priority handling of bug reports, and more, which vary by the number of
-projects[^1] that you intend to build with it and collaborators required.
-Remember, you can always [upgrade or downgrade] your
-sponsorship level at any time.
-
- [^1]:
- A project is defined as a folder with a `mkdocs.yml` configuration file
- that is built with Material for MkDocs Insiders. This is the only limitation
- to follow – the number of documentation pages or the size of your project
- is up to you.

-# Why sponsor us
-
-Material for MkDocs is an Open Source project that is developed and maintained
-by a small team of individuals who want to devote as much time as possible to
-make it better every day. We need to rely on the financial support of
-[our awesome sponsors], who buy us the time to work on it.
-
- [become a monthly sponsor]: sponsoring-tier.md
- [our awesome sponsors]: our-sponsors.md
- [squidfunk's sponsor profile]: https://github.com/sponsors/squidfunk/
-
-## Who we are
-
-While [the project was started] by @squidfunk as a personal side project, the
-[Sponsorware] model that the project adopted in 2020 allowed him to build a
-small team of amazing individuals around him, [who are now helping him] to
-maintain the project, as well as the growing list of sponsors.
-
- [the project was started]: #how-it-started
- [sponsorware]: #sponsorware
- [who are now helping him]: #where-we-are-today
-
-### How it started
-
-In 2015, albeit 10 years in the industry, @squidfunk was still quite new to
-Open Source. Having just finished his latest Open Source project, he realized
-that the project was too complex to be explained in a plain README on GitHub.
-He needed a good documentation tool for this project.
-
-After evaluating static site generators in general and Hugo, Sphinx and MkDocs
-in particular, he quickly decided that MkDocs seemed a good choice, as it was
-specifically aimed at technical project documentation and easy to use.
-Unfortunately, all of the available themes looked dated, and since @squidfunk
-is a very visual person, he just couldn't convince himself to call it a day.
-
-He needed to build a theme.
-
-Months later, in February 2016, [the first version] of Material for MkDocs was
-released. Over the next years, @squidfunk being the sole maintainer, countless
-feature requests were implemented and bugs were fixed, allowing the project to
-gain popularity and reach almost 3,000 stars on GitHub by the end of 2019. It
-is still his most popular project to date.
-
-As the project grew, @squidfunk started to implement feature requests that made
-sense from a general perspective, but not for his personal use. This was the
-point where the project started to shift from a personal project to a
-community-driven one, and began to feel like a secondary job. Having a primary
-job, many maintainers burn out when their side projects become successful, which
-is why @squidfunk decided to give the [Sponsorware] model a try and make
-Material for MkDocs his primary job. This turned out to be an incredible success.
-
- [the first version]: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/releases/tag/0.1.0
-
-### Sponsorware
-
-The Sponsorware model is simple – as a sponsor, you get early access to the
-latest and greatest features of Material for MkDocs as part of [Insiders] before
-everyone else gets to enjoy them, as you are the one making them possible with
-your financial contributions.
-
-Every new feature that lands in [Insiders] is linked to a funding goal with a
-specific amount. Once this amount is reached, all of the features that are part
-of this funding goal are merged into the community edition, making them
-available to everyone. It is that simple.
-
-This brand-new and still experimental approach not only helps keep the project
-vibrant and cutting-edge but also ensures it can continue to meet and exceed
-your expectations.
-
- [Insiders]: index.md
-
-### Where we are today
-
-Fast forward to today, Material for MkDocs is a thriving community-supported
-and well-funded project, with over 500 sponsors and a small but growing team,
-used by international companies and organizations. The project has outgrown
-its original purpose by far, as it has become so much more than just a theme –
-a powerful documentation framework built on top of MkDocs.
-
-Starting in 2020 with the advent of the [Sponsorware] model, the frequency of
-releases has more than doubled, with a new release seeing the light of day on
-average every 1-2 weeks. Moreover, our team responds to issues as fast as
-possible, keeping the number of open issues low.
-
-## Our pledge
-
-We're working hard to make Material for MkDocs one of the best documentation
-tools out there, ridiculously powerful, a pleasure to use and most importantly –
-free and Open Source. It is the financial contributions of our awesome sponsors,
-that allow us to do our best work.
-
-It's a simple equation: as long as this project is funded, we can continue to
-improve it, fix bugs, and add new features. We will continue to provide the
-best possible support to our users and make sure that Material for MkDocs
-remains a tool that you love to use.
-
-If you sponsor us, your contribution helps us to pay for:
-
-1. __Taxes__: Since we provide a service to our sponsors, we're of course
- legally obligated and happy to pay sales tax. This requirement applies to
- all sponsorship contributions, aligning us with standard business practices,
- as for the rest of the world.
-
-2. __Sponsorships__: A significant portion of our funding is redirected to
- upstream projects. This cultivates collaboration and supports the broader
- Open Source ecosystem. We regard those projects and their maintainers as
- essential for the persistence of Material for MkDocs.
-
-3. __Team__: Our team is growing! With more funds available, we can pay more
- individuals to help us make Material for MkDocs even better. Note that this
- covers various aspects of the project, like the creation of new features,
- bug resolution, support, and sponsor relations.
-
-We are bootstrapped – no investors to please! If you decide to support us, you
-help us stay independent and free from outside influence. This means we can
-focus on building a solution that you love to use and keep ownership of your
-documentation project without vendor lock-in.
