working on Vim please send a donation.

VOTE FOR FEATURES *vote-for-features*

To give registered Vim users and sponsors an advantage over lurkers they can
vote for the items Bram should work on. How does this voting work?
Note: Voting for features has been discontinued since the passing of |Bram| in
2023. The following two links still work, but they are no longer updated. So
they now only provide a historic view as of summer 2023.

1. You send at least 10 euro. See below for ways to transfer money
|send-money|.

2. You will be e-mailed a registration key. Enter this key on your account
page on the Vim website. You can easily create an account if you don't
have one yet.

3. You can enter your votes on the voting page. There is a link to that page
on your account page after entering a registration key. Your votes will
be counted for two years.

4. The voting results appear on the results page, which is visible for
everybody: http://www.vim.org/sponsor/vote_results.php

Why should I give money?

What do I get in return?

Each registered Vim user and sponsor who donates at least 10 euro will be able
to vote for new features. These votes will give priority to the work on Vim.
The votes are valid for two years. The more money you send the more your
votes count |votes-counted|.

If you send 100 Euro or more in total you will be mentioned on the "Vim hall
of honour" page on the Vim web site. But only if you enable this on your

How are my votes counted? *votes-counted*

You may vote when you send 10 euro or more. You can enter up to ten votes.
You can select the same item several times to give it more points. You can
also enter three counter votes, these count as negative points.

When you send 30 euro or more the points are doubled. Above 100 euro they
count four times, above 300 euro they count six times, above 1000 euro ten
times.


Can I change my votes?

You can change your votes any time you like, up to two years after you
sent money. The points will be counted right away.


Can I add an item to vote on?

Not directly. You can suggest items to vote on to Bram. He will consider
fitting your item into the list.
