Description

These past months I've spent a lot of time working on xmonad¹ and I feel like I've done a lot. This is, however, not sustainable long term. :-(

¹) primarily xmonad-contrib and the community in general

I'd like to try making my GitHub Sponsors profile a bit more visible, hoping that would allow me to continue dedicating time to xmonad.

I know that the correct approach probably is for the xmonad project to find a fiscal sponsor like the Software Freedom Conservancy or Open Collective or something and accept donations as a project, and then redistribute that to people, but I don't think the project has enough momentum to do something as complicated as that. :-/
