Hi,
First historically Joanie has never wanted donations, and Igalia
cannot them as a profit company. Joanie considers as well that it is
better to debug apps than working on Orca itself for someone wanting
to improve accessibility. Next you are right, reinforcing
accessibility in free software is very important, as just now, just
Joanie works on it, as well as Hypra. The situation is somewhat
worrying I think.
Hypra is now probable the most frequent contributor after Joanie.
F123 does as well. Some weeks ago, a project was planned with the
IAVIT foundation, I dont know the status.
Accelibreinfo is the non-profit organization bihind Hypra and can
thus accept donations. It will enable us to fund Hypra to improve
accessibility (debug Firefox, libreoffice, Mate, set non-regression
tests, developing a keyboard learning app, etc). If you want to
donate I can send you our IBAN. Other people choosed to pay Hypra as
a customer to get support or a fully accessible system, with less
efforts, and knowing that paying such invoices is actually a
contribution to make us live and go on accessibility.
Regards,

Hello.
I am sorry, but it would be better when people would support Orca
development too. I am afraid of end of Orca development, if there
is only one developer and some money to support. I like your work,
Joanie, you're great, but I think, more money and perhaps some
helpers who know programming can help. I am sorry, but I am
writing this only for good of linux accessibility. I don't want
end of linux accessibility, it's my primary system and when it
ends, I will be without computer.
Best regards
Vojta.

My employer (Igalia) supports my work on
Orca. I think Hypra takes
donations. Thanks and take care.
I let Jean-Philippe give you the detail about donation we could
accept.
Best regards,
ALex.
