Could you please elaborate about what you mean by "overall development"?
Maybe we have a misunderstanding here.
Let ma clarify about our donation page:
- Org repository is hosted on savannah as a GNU project. It's free.
- Org webpage is hosted on a donated server space. It's also free.
- Org development is done by volunteers. It's also free - nobody is
expected to be paid for Org development beforehand.
- For a long time, the donations were directed to the main Org
maintainer (Bastien). AFAIU, it was because people wanted to donate,
and we simply got a token donation target.
- Recently, we made an alternative donation scheme where multiple Org
contributors can share the donations. We have invited all the major
contributors. Some accepted. Some plain did not want donations. Some
are yet to reply.
So, what I call "team" is equivalent to donations to the overall
development. These donations (note that it's not really much money) are
simply an extra motivation for Org committers. Org project has no real
expenses.
